Dear Mommy (Give Me a Chance)

Dear Mommy do you hear me yet I'm the voice you've never met I'm the life you carry inside And I feel everything you try to hide Every breath you take I'm breathing too When you take that drink It flows through me and you I don't have a choice But I'm begging you now Can you hear my voice Don't let us go down Please keep me safe Free from harm So I can feel the warmth Of your arms I don't wanna die Before I live All I ask Mommy Is this chance you can give Let me see the world Through your loving eyes Let me live Let me rise I wish you'd hear The silent cry You're drinking away Both our lives God's plan for me Was to laugh and play But now my future Is lipping away Born with your pain Your addiction too That's not the life I want with you But it's not too late I'm holding on tight Choose love for us Choose the light Please keep me safe Free from harm So I can feel the warmth Of your arms I don't wanna die Before I live All I ask Mommy Is this chance you can give Let me see the world Through your loving eyes Let me live Let me rise We could count the toes On my tiny feet You could hear my heartbeat Steady and sweet In your arms I'd finally know What it's like to feel love And to grow Please keep me safe Free from harm So I can feel the warmth Of your arms I don't wanna die Before I live All I ask Mommy Is this chance you can give Let me see the world Through your loving eyes Let me live Let me rise Please Mommy I have no voice But there's still time You've got a choice They're reaching out They want to help you Their love is my voice It's breaking through Give us both the chance to meet Let love be the ground Beneath our feet Please keep me safe Free from harm So I can feel the warmth Of your arms I don't wanna die Before I live All I ask Mommy Is this chance you can give Let me see the world Through your loving eyes Let me live Let me rise Let me live Let me rise
