Dead On Arrival

Trying to bring life back ~

Back, into a deadoned Soul....

D.O.A., I heard the doctor say

Deaf, dumb and blind?!

Their mother cried, their mother replied

From their birth; welcome to this earth....

Said the nurse, as she smiled

What a beautiful child; eyes black as night

Eyes without sight!?

A tiny heart beating, beating

But so very cold....

This tiny child, with a deadoned Soul ~

D.O.A., I heard the doctor say

Stand clear, two thousand years

A prophecy foretold; a prophecy unfolds?!

Trying to bring life, back

Back, back, into a world so cold....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....I heard the Doctor say, stand clear ~
