About the Artist
Lyrics
Confusing and scared, There is a decision made with this choice A child has to pay She puts its life in her hands, And then she destroys its only chance to become someone in life You should have thought about the baby before you had sex, Because you have destroyed a gift from God You kill, You destroyed Never will this baby be able to grow up or show its love You'll never hear it say "I love you, I love you" God does not give you the privilege to carry a child for nothing When you kill, You destroy that child's dreams and hopes How innocent a baby is... how can you put it to death? What if you were aborted... You could have never had life And now you make a choice to take this child's life Because it is a burden in your hands A burden in your hands Destroyed out of convenience They put an end to your life Because you're too big a burden And one that they can not have So they take your life before your first breath Will it stop? Will the killings continue? Babies die everyday because of a pro choice made Helpless and innocent, they are put to death Then why did the parents choose to plant a seed and then destroy it? Pray for the people who are killing the kids of tomorrow How desperately they need Jesus Christ in their hearts So they take your life Because you're a burden in their hands Destroyed out of convenience They put a end to your life Because you're too big a burden and one that they can not have So they take your life before your first breath, So they take your life before your first breath
