Price of a Child

My Child

I wish I didn’t have to leave him- my child.
I have to gain freedom, fight for him- my child.
I have to make this path clear for him- my child.
I have to do what I can whilst I can for him- my child.

I’m trying my hardest to succeed for him-my child.
I’m trying to make the future brighter for him-my child.
I’m trying to build a bridge to a better world for him-my child.
I’m trying with all of my might to be with him-my child.


I am almost there, with him-my child.
I can almost see the essence of him-my child.
I can almost hear the laughter of him-my child.
I can almost feel the warmth of him-my child.

Now he is here with me-my child.
He completes the me plus three-my child.
I’m glad t have completed this task for him-my child.
And now he is free to be free-My Child.



Torn

Torn, don’t know what to do, does it show?
Stay with my child, or leave while I can go.
The mistress, she sees it, she knows.
She kept my child and made me go.
Will I ever see him again? She is my foe.

Hurt, I miss him, can’t you see?
Stay with my child, or leave while I can go.
The mistress, she sees it, she knows.
She kept my child and made me go.
Will I ever see him again? She is my foe.

Hurt, I miss him, can’t you see?
My other two children, they question me.
Not with aloud but with their eyes, I see
I left poor young Bennie, how can it be?
I’d change it all if I could, for any fee.

I hope he forgives me, I love him
I hate that I left him alone, with them
But I had to go, it was sink or swim
I’ll never stop fighting, never stop trying
So long as he is not here, I’ll never stop crying.
I love my Bennie, I’ll show him one day
The love I have for him will never go away
For the rest of our lives I’ll find a way
To make it up to him, to always say
I love you.
