The 2009 March For Life is just a few days away. and the pro-life community is hoping for the largest turn out ever in Washington DC. There is also a new pro-life song that was written for the event.
It is called “Let Me Be Born”, and was written to help educate young people about the evils of abortion and to refute some of the more common misleading pro-choice slogans: “it’s my body”; “it’s my choice”; it’s just a blob of tissue, not a baby, etc.
The song is basically an imaginary conversation between a little baby in the womb, and it’s mother. The baby overhears it’s mother talking about having an abortion and decides it’s time for a serious “baby-mommy” talk. As the song progresses, we see that the baby is really talking to all of us: asking us to pray for an end to this scourge on our nation; asking us to proclaim, to all the young people, the truth about abortion. The baby in this song represents all babies whose “mommy’s” may be considering an abortion; it is speaking for all those unborn children who are unable to say: "mommy, I want to live”.
The song is copyrighted, but permission is given to sing it at any pro-life event. The lyrics are posted here for anyone who wishes to sing along with it at the march.
**“Let me be born” ** Lyrics
V1
I came into being on a day I don’t know,
and in a few months mommy started to show.
I heard her say, “now should I do”.
looks like it’s time, to get rid of you.
I said dear mommy, won’t you let me stay?
Please let me live to see the light of day.
With fear in my heart, that soon I’d be dead,
I whispered in her ear, and this is what I said.
I’m a child not a choice so let me be born.
I’m a baby in the womb, not an object of scorn.
I’m a gift of God from the Heavens above;
so let me be born, and I’ll give you lots of love.
V2
I’m a baby not a blob as some folk’s say,
so please don’t take my life away.
I know right now things are looking bad,
but let me live, and you’ll surely be glad.
I’ve got little hands and feet, and their really neat;
my little heart beats with a sound so sweet.
I’ve got fingers and toes, and a pretty little nose,
just like the image, on the ultra-sound shows.
Cause I’m a child not a choice so let me be born.
I’m a baby in the womb, not an object of scorn.
I’m a gift of God from the Heavens above;
so let me be born, and I’ll give you lots of love.
V3
Some folk’s say that their body is theirs,
but that’s not the word from the Man upstairs.
He gave us our bodies to do His will,
so don’t take me, to that abortion mill.
4000 babies die each day,
while the innocent child has no say.
We can’t let the devil win this fight,
so down on your knees, and pray with all your
might.
Cause I’m a child not a choice so let me be born.
I’m a baby in the womb, not an object of scorn.
I’m a gift of God from the Heavens above;
so let me be born, and I’ll give you lots of love.
V4
God said to Moses, “thou shall not kill”.
He wrote it in stone on the side of a hill.
He gave us 10 commands, to know right from wrong,
so please dear mommy, won’t you heed this song.
The fifth commandment is very plain,
it’s a serious sin, to have a baby slain.
But so many people don’t know the truth,
so proclaim this message, to all the youth.
That I’m a child not a choice so let me be born.
I’m a baby in the womb, not an object of scorn.
I’m a gift of God from the Heavens above;
so let me be born, and I’ll give you lots of love.
I’m a gift of God from the Heavens above.
I came to you on the wings of a dove.
I’m a precious little angle just waiting to be.
All I ask of you, is please love me.
All I ask of you, is please let me “be”.
( Note, “be” - as in “to be born” )
