Let Me Be Born

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown.

I want to see the world, 

I can anticipate, it must be a beautiful place,

I can feel within you - as I also participate.

Please mother, let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

I want to see the birds, I want to sail a boat.

I want to smell the flowers,

I want to see a cluster of stars.

Please mother, let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

I want to fly a kite,

I want to see the rainbow high in the sky,

I want to hold your hand, 

And walk along the beach side.

Please mother, let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

I want to play with you, I want to stay with you,

I want to hug you,

I just want to be with you.

Please mother, let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

I want to get drenched in the rain,

I want to fall in love - again and again,

I want to be a mother, of a wonderful daughter.

Please mother let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

I will not leave you, when you need me most,

I will not betray you, when you get old.

Please mother, let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

Why do you want to kill me?

I am your daughter.

Your mother did not kill you,

She brought you into the world.

Please mother, let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown,

Give me a chance, let me be born,

Just once, let me be born.

Please mother let me be born,

I might shine bright like a diamond in your crown
