Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Wondering the aisles In search of the perfect bassinet Choosing between the wood and the metal Selecting the perfect theme of it all Then out of nowhere a loud bang Silence then another pop What in the world is going on? Looking for protection, she hides from the sound Behind the secound corner, who is that man? What is that he is carrying? Is she in any danger? Oh Lord please don't let him do anything For inside the woman, a infant she was bearing He holds her done, puts the gun to her head Is anyone to witness this?, can anyone stop him She tries to tell him that she is no threat She won't tell anyone, just please let the baby live But he doesn't seem to listen to her words A loud shot and she's falls down to the floor Her pulse slowly weakens, then she is gone The baby's heart no longer can beat without her The guy escapes with no harm The cops have no trace The lady's family has no comfort All because wrong time, wrong place
