Giving In

"For all the joys thy child shall bring the risk of grief we'll run."
 (A Child Loaned - Edward A. Guest)
 You're born, raised and then torn down,
 To look a little more like, everyone you meet,
 And everyday that goes by,
 You look a little less like who you used to be.
 ♪
 I don't mind the people staring,
 'Cause I know they never see me anyway,
 In these days, all the worlds the stage,
 And everyone one just wants to be the star.
 "...we'll love him while we may."
 (A Child Loaned)
 This is all too heavy,
 If you believe in your self,
 But no one can hurt you with out your consent,
 And I am not giving in.
 I'm not giving in
 And I'm not giving in

 "I'll lend you, for a little time, a child of mine
 For you to love the while she lives
 And mourn for when she's dead.
 And from the throngs that crowd
 Life's lanes, I have selected you
 Now will you give her all your love,
 Nor think the labor vain,
 Nor hate me when I come to call to
 Take her back again?
