The struggle is over, I have been defeated
The room here is covered with evil and gloom
An unborn child in the womb of my mother
A nurse and a doctor plan to tear me apart
No crime was committed but my sentence is murder
My mother lies scared and in terrible pain
My father is outside, he will not defend me
No friends have I here, but some dear souls outside
CHORUS:
Love for my parents I carry in my heart
I lay down my life for my Mom and my Dad
Farewell to this world God willed me to live in
In love have I lived, and a martyr I’ll die (I’ve died)
2
My dreams have been broken, my plans have been shattered
No birthdays or cakes, no schoolbooks for me
I will not get married, or have any children
But the love which I have will never be spent
For the instruments seek me, they will tear my body
As I carry my cross as my Lord did before
The pain from the cutting is excruciating
But this does not compare with my abandonment
3
No name was I given by my parents who forsake me
I’ll await their conversion while I behold God’s Face
Someday they will name me when blessed with true sorrow
God waits with forgiveness through the Love of Jesus
Who was innocent when He gave up His Body
And Blood on the Cross so that we may all live
My Baptism comes by the blood of my torture
My Christening gown is the womb of my mom
4
I did receive some love on the morning of my death
Some souls who did care were out praying for me
A rosary they gave to my mother that morning
As she rushed by those watching and praying for us
My Dad only cursed them as he felt so guilty
My Mom threw the Rosary back down at their feet
If only they had listened to the prayers and the wisdom
How happy I’d be to have a chance at life
5
I now have been killed, my body is broken
The Mother of Jesus comes to carry me away
She holds me and rocks me while her tears fall on my face
Her tears are for me and my Mom and my Dad.
Mary brings me before my dear Father in Heaven
Along with my angel who kept watch over me
My Jesus receives me, the Holy Spirit fills me
While we all shed tears of love for my Mom and my Dad
