Let Me Live by Pat Boon

. . LET ME LIVE . by Pat Boone . . I had a dream the other night

. So unusual, so profound, so troubling . That I woke up trembling, in tears. .
. In my dream I heard a child’s voice . Speaking to me almost in a whisper .But full of primal joy at being newly alive .I felt deeply the child’s reverence and awe . At the discovery of it’s own existence . And I shared in the excitement.
.
.Then I heard another voice – and another – . And soon there seemed to be thousands, .millions of children, all in various stages .of development, all grateful for life – and . all singing the same urgent chorus, the . same fervent plea – for, though each and . every one of those children was already . experiencing LIFE, not one had yet been . born.

. 1st CHILD . I’m one month old . I’m very small . I feel me growing every day . In this warm dark place

.
. My heart is the biggest part of me . And it’s beating! . I’m so glad to be alive . So glad . To be alive . . Chorus . Let me live . Let me walk into the sunshine . Let me live . Feel my mother’s arms around me . Feel my father’s love surround me . Be a part of God’s creation . Let me live . . 2nd CHILD . . Fingers . And toes . My own mouth . My own lips . And I’m two months old today . My heart is beating fast . And I feel another heart . Big and strong . Somewhere, everywhere around me . Is it my mother? . . 3rd CHILD . . I’m three months old . And my arms and legs . Have real bones . I’m growing . And kicking too! . Can you feel it? . I can turn my head . I can squint and frown and make a fist . See I can curl my toes . And I think my mother knows I’m here now . I’m alive! . . I’m alive! . . I woke up then, . I knew I was hearing something real . Thousands of unborn children were

. Singing to me from their mothers wombs . They’re not just mindless bits of flesh . There HUMAN BEINGS; all ready in touch . With their Mothers, with God, with LIFE . They deserve to LIVE!!!
.
. Chorus
. . Let me live . Let me walk into the sunshine . Let me live . Feel my mother’s arms around me . Feel my father’s love surround me . Be a part of God’s creation . Let me live.
