i would die for that.

Monday, March 18, 2013


jenny was my best friend
went away one summer
came back with a secret 
she just couldn't keep.
a child inside her,
was just too much for her
so she cried herself to sleep.

and she made a decision
some find hard to accept.
too young to know that one day
she might live to regret.

but I would die for that.
just to have one chance
to hold in my hands
all that she had.
i would die for that.


i've been given so much,
a husband that I love.
so why do I feel incomplete?
with every test and checkup
we're told not to give up.

he wonders if it's him.
and i wonder if it's me.


all i want is a family,
like everyone else i see.
and i won't understand it
if it's not meant to be.


'cause i would die for that.
just to have one chance
to hold in my hands
all that they have.
i would die for that.

and i want to know what it's like
to bring a dream to life.
for that kind of love,
what i'd give up!
i would die for that.

sometimes it's hard to conceive, 
with all that i've got,
and all i've achieved,
what i want most 
before my time is gone,
is to hear the words
"i love you, mom."


i would die for that. 
just to have once chance
to hold in my hands
what so many have
i would die for that.

and i want to know what it's like
to bring a dream to life.
how i would love
what some give up.
i would die ...
i would die for that.
