A Mistake I Was To Her

She became a prostitute at an early stage
At 17 she carried me in her womb
A mistake I was to her
Regrets was her daily bread
She hated the fact that I was part of her body
Pregnant she was
Abortions were not legalised back then
Gues she could have aborted me
A mistake I was to her

She gave me away
In the name of adorption
She gave me away
She never laid her eyes on me
She hated me the day I was conceived
Not even the day I was born
She hated the fact that I was ruining her business
A mistake I was to her

She gave me away to a stranger
They call it adorption
I call it living in an outside world
I grew up as a slave
The thought of being given away haunted me day and night
My mama my papa
Never wanted me
My mama my papa
I asked my self
Will I ever get a chance to meet them
Will she come back to her senses and look for me
My mama my papa given me away in the name of adorption
Adorption the outside world
Family I couldn't define
For it was beyond my knowledge
Love was so strange to m
Sorrows slavery and pain was my daily source
In the name of adorption
My life turned to be hell on earth
A mistake I was to her

Nor did I know my language or my culture
Where do I come from I wanted to know
I felt like the world has abondon me
A mistake I was in this world
The word love never existed to me

Yes till I met you
You took me from the street and gave me a shelter
From nobody to somebody
I now can define my self
A countless family is what I am having
The countless love u gave me
Yes! Till I met you
All my questions were answered
A mistake I am not
A blessing I am
Yes! Til I met you
God

You loved me anyway
Even when I had no family you loved me
You took me from the world of slavery to the world of peace
You saved me God
A mistake I am NOT
