Lyrics

Unwanted Angels

She was only fifteen when she got the news
It would kill her mom and dad if they knew
From the back seat of a taxi
She wondered what she'd do

Her boyfriend said it wasn't his, didn't need anything like this
What hope could they give a baby?
What kind of life could they give?

Her spirit's broken on the floor
And the pain inside can't be ignored
It's a baby fighting for a chance to live

Unwanted angels
I wonder what they'd say
Their wings are slowly growing
As they wait for the perfect day

Unwanted angels
Their hearts are beating wild
They're someone's little child but not today
Unwanted angels

She kept her secret til one day
Her best friend took her to a place
She waited for the doctor to take it all away

She heard a voice from deep inside
Bowed her head and then she cried
Please forgive me Lord she whispered
Help me make it through the night

The world can be a cruel place
Close your eyes and turn your face
In a minute everything wil be alright

Unwanted angels
I wonder what they'd say
Their wings are slowly growing
As they wait for the perfect day

Unwanted angels
Their hearts are beating wild
They're someone's little child but not today

You're not alone give me a home wait another day
Please carry me oh can't you see why I feel this way
An answered prayer someone's waiting for me
Let me live
Let me breathe

Unwanted angels
I wonder what they'd say
Their wings are slowly growing
As they wait for the perfect day

Unwanted angels
Their hearts are beating wild
They're someone's little child but not today
Unwanted angels
