I Brought You Into This World

I brought you into this world I swear, I’ll take you out! I’ve heard those words too many times. Words I will never shout. Mothers and fathers issue this threat They think it sounds so cool. Those words left a scar in me. How could she be so cruel? I promised God I’d never say Those words to my little girl. I held her hand and held her up Cause I brought her into this world. My mother thinks it’s foolish That I thought she wanted me dead. But I was just a little girl Who believed what her mommy said. Whenever I hear someone say Those awful words to a child I ask them not to say it again. The pain could last a while. So when I’m talking to someone That I brought into this world. I promise her my very best And thank God for Baby Girl.
