I KNOW A GIRL WHO’S GROWING UP TOO FAST
SHE’S STUCK BETWEEN HER FUTURE AND HER PAST
‘CAUSE SHE’S JUST A BABY, BUT THE DOCTORS SAY
SHE’S GOT A BABY ON THE WAY
AND NOW THE DEVASTATION MAKES HER START TO CRY
HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING SHE WONDERS WHY
BUT THEY’RE TALKING OPTIONS
LIKE IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY
AND THE CHOICE IS HERS TO MAKE
THERE’S A LIFE INSIDE YOU
THERE’S A BEATING HEART
THERE’S A CHILD OF WONDER
SHINING LIKE A STAR
THERE’S A LIFE INSIDE YOU
I KNOW A BOY WHO’S ALL CAUGHT UP
IN HIS ADDICTIONS AND THEY’RE TEARING HIM UP
AND NOW HE’S HEARING VOICES
TELLING HIM IT’S TIME TO LET GO
BUT IF I COULD TALK TO THAT BOY
I WOULD DIE FOR HIM TO KNOW
