As sharp as thorns

Ah the pain within a child's heart
When understanding dawns
Her mother tells her honestly
Her words dig sharp as thorns
You were a mistake at birth
I didn't want any more...
Yet along you came...

Ah the pain within a child's heart
When understanding dawns
Her father's anger over the years
His words like daggers through her heart
I don't love you...
You're not the one
I always wanted a son...

Ah the pain within a child's heart
When understanding dawns
His father without saying: blames
His troubles upon his birth
You ruined my life...
You stole my youth...
That's the angry truth...

Maybe for each and every child
The story is not exactly the same
Yet in being sown: seeds take root
Why should that little child bear blame?
They didn't ask for life...
It was given just the same...
Ah parents please love them all
And thank the Lord they came...
