Never Stood a Chance
From day one you were never meant to be
Your life taken by a man made decree
And without a parent to even care
I know I know, life ain't fair
For the appointment has already been made
With no hope of your execution being stayed
For in this land you have no legal right
I know I know, I understand your plight
And thus tomorrow will be your last day
As your own mother will be the one to betray
And thus the worst is yet to come
I know I know, I too feel numb
Yet I see this you already knew
Being so tiny yet sensing what is true
Neither of us are able to understand why
I know I know, I too want to cry
