We were young We were restless We were reaching for the stars We had passion and we burned down the nights Just a high school Prince and princess We'd build castles in the sky When you're so much in love there is no wrong or right We weren't ready For a child in our lives We weren't ready then We were children ourselves But it still hurts inside I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now I hope your still in labor And can hear my prayers somehow So that when I'm older There will be no doubts I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now You'd be 16 now and counting You'd have lovers of your own And I'd be staying up Just for you to come home When the gift of life is taken Can it ever be returned? Or are you waiting in The wings of my soul? Oh, we weren't ready For a child in our lives We weren't ready then We were children ourselves, But I know our choice was right I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now I hope your still in labor And can hear my prayers somehow So that when I'm older There will be no doubts I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now You've got to make your choices It's got to be your choice It's a life It's the gift of life (it's the gift of life) You've got to make your choices Some of them will hurt But you know it's right inside That's the gift of life Well now I'm ready I need someone to hold My hands are empty And I'm reaching for you When I'm all alone I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now I hope your still in labor And can hear my prayers somehow So that when I'm older There will be no doubts I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now I hope you're still up in heaven 'cause I need you now The gift of life is precious I wanna give it back somehow You've got to make your choices It's got to be your choice It's a life It's the gift of life (it's the gift of life) You've got to make your choices Some of them will hurt But you know it's right inside That's the gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life (fade)
