Child

Location

I am a child born into hate and despair
I wander alone with no one to care
No one loves me

You are a child born out of love
I'm always right here, is that not enough?
Child, I love you

I am a child physically and emotionally abused
Everything I need and want is refused
No one loves me

You are a child I gave my son for
I give you so many blessings, do you want more?
Child, I love you

I am a teenager lost in my dreams
There's no one around to hear my screams
No one loves me

You are a teenager chasing false dreams
It hurts my heart when I hear you scream
Child, I love you

I am a teenager yearning for life
Instead I find myself holding the knife
No one loves me

You are a teenager yearning for more
Open your eyes, that's what I'm here for
Child, I love you

I am an adult confused and scared
Three kids, no husband, no one to care
No one loves me

You are an adult confused and scared
Don't lose hope, I'm always there
Child, I love you

I am an adult full of worry and stress
My check pays the bills leaving nothing left
No one loves me

You are an adult full of worry and stress
Pray to me and I'll take care of the rest
Child, I love you

I am old and tired and full of regret
Looking back on life, my eyes grow wet
No one loves me

You are old with a past full of lies
Yet, I'm still always there to wipe your eyes
Child, I love you

I am old and sick and wish life to end
But even in death my heart won't mend
No one loves me

You are old but time is still young
Even in death, I'll be your one and only love
Child, I love you
