lyrics

Flower bud in the sun dew glistening on it's tip
We declare it has no worth bend down with blades and clip
The potential there it's not yet full of the beauty it inherits
Unfeeling eye will deny the care that it merits

No on cuts a blooming bud still we cut a blooming child
Lifeless scrap left in the mud, in the streets their bodies piled

A mother's choice a mother's choice
To kill someone just like her
In a year he'd be here
Baby boy just like her
In her arms she'd do no harm
But he's not in her sight
She can't see what he'd be
It's not right

The difference of a few months aborted fetus or a boy
There is no difference here it's a human you destroy
You made your choice on that night and it still endures
You have no right to take and murder what's not yours

[chorus]
