It could have gone either way when it came down to the choice 
To keep the life within a life that had no voice 
It must have surely seemed the harder road to choose 
To be so young to have to say who had the most to lose 
But she came through like a champ and she blessed the world that day 
Then gave the hope of a better life when she gave him away 
Now the innocence and joy is there each day he wakes 
Expressions of his love of life in every breath he takes 
He could have been thrown away before he had a chance to say 

Hey world, I am here and I have something to give 
Hey world, I'm alive and I am wanting to live 

He turned to lock the door as he wiped away a tear 
The hopelessness of missing love, his adolescent fear 
As he struggled for the strength to put the gun away 
He found the courage and the hope to face another day 
He could have been blown away before he had a chance to say 

Down the corridor or life in between our death and birth 
We may start to lose our way in the search to find our worth 
Our value comes in the fact we live 
Life is a gift only God can give
