It is so cozy in here
I like it inside this place
I wonder if I will stay here
or will I see another face

Oh my, what is that?
I feel a little strange
something is squeezing me
I heard a voice out of range

What is this I feel
Oh mommy, daddy I hear your voice
It seems a little less cloudy
I am glad you took this choice

I been hearin' you talking
a long time ago, you said
that because of bad things
I might come out dead

I feel like you want me
cause' you fought for me to live
oh I have so much to say
and so very much to give

I heard that one man
that I hear bout' once a week now
he told you it is high risk
you said I'm having her anyhow

I like it here too
I am getting very scared
something seems wrong
I love the times we've shared

I felt a warm hand
as my daddy spoke to me
he said be okay little one
for we cannot wait to see

I heard that other man
a doctor he was said to be
you really should abort
and you said no, not me

I heard you talking
to God just last night
You and daddy prayed a prayer
that everything would be allright

Oh no! what is happening now
I see an itty bitty light
I feel cold and afraid
but I'll put up a fight

What is that, mommy
Oh, its cutting your skin
everything is moving
who are those strange men

I only know one voice
Oh wait I hear my dad
I hear you, too, mommy
you sound so very glad

Is that you that is smiling
is that daddy standing over me
oh my goodness mommy
I finally am free

What did the doctor say to you
he said a miracle has occurred
you both close your eyes
saying word after word

Oh, you are praying, mommy,
Thanking God he gave me to you
and that I am doing okay
now I know what to do

Do you hear me, mommy
Can you understand what I say
what is that horrible sound
who is crying that way

OH wow is that me
am I making that sound
oh I like that my mommy
now you know I am around

MMMM what is that
It is so very yummy
what is mother's milk
is that what's going in my tummy

well I am here now
after all that anticipation
we are all happily together
what a wonderful sensation
