Give Up Baby
Give Up Baby
Child is caught in cross-hairs of divorce
Playing with bricks and rocks about the sand box lot
Courts treat custody as normal policy and procedure
Dismiss it as nature taking course
And baby suffers from their negligence and force
Dad, no power in his hands, steps in when he is summoned
The choice is simple as can be
He must be hard on himself, give up his humanity
To gain the favor of the courts
And suffer in humility or give up baby
