THE CRY (STORY) Lyrics

Am I safe? Am I secure?

Oh, will I get the chance to meet this world?

I wake up and listen to what's going on

Mom just woke up, guess we're moving along

Out of the bed to go to a new Doctors Office

I'm not too worried, I'm calm

She's brushing her teeth and fixing her hair

She makes her bed neat, then gets some fresh air

With nothing to eat, she heads down the stairs

And runs down the street for the bus, now it's here

We get on the bus as I bob up and down

I barely see light but I listen for sound

I feel the vibration come up from the ground

Through mom into me, these buses are loud!

I can't wait to see and hug Mum!

I don't know how many days until my time comes

But I know it'll be great embracing

I love being with her every day, her baby, her…

I hear your heart beating, Mom, are you there?

I wish I could talk, I know Dad isn't here

I wish I could meet him, I wish I could see him

But you said he left, now it's just you and fear

You're lonely and scared, but Mommy I'm here

And soon I'll be with you, I love you

I hear you talk to your friends and you talk to your family

Recently I heard you that you have a clear decision to make

In regards to your body, the girl that you talked to said that you should probably

Get an abortion because you're in poverty

I don't know what all that means, but I'm honestly here with you Mom

I'll hug you to bits! I want you to know I'm your kid

All I need is a little more time and I promise one day I'll get big

She gets off the bus, and walks for a while

I can't recall travelling all this time

Where are we going?

Why are your vitals racing like you have been running for miles?

She walks through a door and talks at a desk

The lady tells Mommy go to the left

Into the room down the hallway and then

Soon the Abortion is gonna commence

We enter the room and she lays on the bed

We wait and we wait till the Doctor comes in

I hear lots of noise, then the man says,

It's only a fetus and this'll be quick

Wait…

Last week the doctor said I am a fetus! What's going on, Mom?

Tell me that I'll be ok!

Tell me that I'll be safe, that I'll be in your arms!

Hey what's going on Mom?

I can feel your anxiety! Something's cold, I feel it pinch the side of me!

I try to fight it off! I'm kicking violently!

I fight for life but Mom I might be dying, please!

Help me! Help me! Help me please, Mom!

Something's not ok! I feel afraid!

Just tell me

Am I safe?

And Am I secure?

Oh, and will I get the chance to meet this world?

And am I loved?

Will I get a hug from my Mom when I'm born?

That's all I want…

Love, Your Son
