Sit and wait
In a pensive state
A judgment call
One man to make
Effects a child
Decides her fate

Hands are tight
Heart in a vice
Wanting only
what’s best for her life

No built-in problems
For her to face
She has no blame
For being in this place

Oh, what a future
She’ll have if she stays
For her parents mistakes
She’ll never pay

Oh, lord we pray
For your blessings this day
I love and thank you
This I must say

I know you watch over her
What’s needed you’ll give
A blessed and happy life
I know she will live
