You Once Had A Child

Is it really such a hideous thing
to live a life in which you can win
and if no one believes in you
and if no one believes in you

Please don’t drown me in sorrow
for what you want there’s a way to borrow
I was young, I was brave, but I couldn’t say
what it was I wanted to save

I was only trying to get in
I was only trying to get in
but they told me never to begin
I guess that I’ll never win

Please don’t drown me in sorrow
for what you want there’s a way to borrow
I was young I was brave, but I couldn’t say
what it was I wanted to save

You once had a child
that came while the night was wild
but the time wasn’t right so she slept on the step
for ten years you have wept
