I Signed My Rights Over
I know it’s the RIGHT THING to do,
When I look into MY BABY’S big brown eyes.
I’m giving HIM up, handing him over,
Telling them, I’M an INCAPABLE mother.
I thought I could be his MOMMY AGAIN,
But his WHIMPER proves me wrong.
I’m giving him up, handing him OVER,
Telling THEM, I’m an incapable MOTHER!
And today I’m signing my RIGHTS OVER.
I had a SECOND CHANCE, but I gave my baby back,
I DECIDED he was the one that DESERVED a second chance!
So, I gave him up, HANDED him over,
And TOLD them I was an incapable mother.
This is not about me. It came to me so I wrote it.
