Too young to be a mother when she's just a child herself...
I'm a lyricist and collaborate with other singer/songwriters.
Lyrics
GIVE ME A CHANCE
By Herbert Hartley and Patricia Bishop - 2011
V1
She sits alone in her room not knowing what to do
Never dreamed he would leave; swore up and down he loved her too
Shes scared of what will happen now; too afraid to ask for help
Not ready yet to be a mother when shes just a child herself
Lead In: So she prays.
Chorus 1
Give me a chance to start all over
Give me a chance to make this right
Give me a chance to have a future
Give me a chance to live my life
V2
Days are turning into weeks and soon the world will know
She could end this all right now before she starts to show
Lessons from her bible class, God doesnt make mistakes
Children are precious gifts from Him; not choices that we make
Chorus 1
Give me a chance to start all over
Give me a chance to make this right
Give me a chance to have a future
Give me a chance to live my life
Bridge
No one can deny that every mother hears her unborn babys cry
Chorus 2
Give me a chance to have a future
Give me a chance to make this right
Give me the chance your mother gave you
Give me a chance to live my life
Repeat Chorus 2
Give me a chance to have a future (give me a chance)
Give me a chance to make this right (give me a chance)
Give me the chance your mother gave you (give me a chance)
Give me a chance to live my life (give me a chance)
