1985

1985

Back in 1985
I would stay alive;
My mother decided to give
Me the chance to live

Back in 1985
I stayed alive;
My mom did not kill
Oh, life is a thrill

It started back in 1985
When many prayers came alive;
For that young teenage blonde
Nine months wasn’t so long

Back in 1985
I was alive;
Life happens so quick
Life is a lit candle wick

Back in 1985
She chose to keep me alive;
Who would have thought
God’s grace on the unsought

Back in 1985
I am alive;
Some say it was by chance
I know nothing but providence.
