Let Me Live

I wrote this song as a conversation between an unborn child and its mother. I try to convey the helplessness and fear in each one, as they pray to the Lord for His help.

LYRICS: 
~*verse one*~
Hear I am, your little child. Mommy, can you hear my voice?
Can you feel my heart beating, beating next to yours?
Mommy, don't you love me, don't you want me? Don't let them take me from you. 
Mommy I know you're scared. Trust me, I'm scared too. Please tell me that I'll be okay. Mommy, don't you understand that this life is the one chance I get?


~*chorus*~
Is there anyone listening to me? Why do I feel so alone? 
I just want to be wanted, to be loved. Won't you love me! 
God, you say that you hear the cry of the broken-hearted. 
Please God, grant me this one wish: I want to live.

~*verse two*~
Hear I am, your little girl. God, can you hear my voice?
Why did this have to happen to me? I'm not that kind of girl. 
I can always get pregnant again, but not now, not like this. I can't bear the shame.
I just want this to disappear, but I don't want to give up my child. 
What should I do, I'm still so young, I can't be a mom! God, what can I do?! 

~*chorus*~

~*verse three*~
Mommy, please don't do this. I'm real, I'm alive, this is killing me.
Please say that you want me cause if you don't, then nobody will.
Mommy, God chose me to love you, please don't reject me.
I promise we can make it through, you and I.
So won't you save me cause you hold my life in your hands. 

~*chorus final*~
Mommy, are you listening to me? Neither one of us has to feel so alone. 
We can make it through life hand-in-hand, together, bearing each other up.
God gave us the answers to our prayers in each other.
The choice is yours: Mommy, won't you let me live.
