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
