So now a child has died,
in the hopes that you might live,
in a fashion you see fit,
with a love you could not give!

And you say that it's okay,
because the child you could not see,
is the child you would not love
and thus it should not be!

But love is a funny thing,
it grows only when given away
and when the world leaves your side,
it's love that wants to stay!

I mourn for the child you would not love,
yet I shed my tears for you!
For those who teach of selfishness,
will find no love that's true!
