No One Sees the Baby’s Tears

Don’t you know me? I’m your boy.
I was made to bring you joy.
Don’t you know me? I’m the one,
God made to be your special son.

Baby’s fingers, Baby toes,
Where’s my Mama?…
No one knows….
Baby’s smiles, Baby’s tears,
Baby screaming, no one hears.

Don’t you love me? Don’t you care?
I have Mama’s curly hair.
Mama’s pretty yellow curls…
Mama’s pretty Baby girl.

Baby growing - Mama cries…
Baby showing… … Baby dies.
Killed by Mama - Mama’s fears…
No one sees the Baby’s tears!

Where’s my Daddy? Baby said,
No protector, Now I’m dead.
Don’t you love me? Don’t you see?
You were meant to die for me.

Baby fingers, Baby toes,
Where’s my Daddy? No one knows.
Baby smiles, Baby tears…
Baby Screaming… …No one hears.

Babies growing…Mama’s cry,
Babies showing… Babies die…
Killed by Mama’s… …Mamas’ fears
NO ONE SEES THE BABIES’ TEARS!
