  Joey’s Song by Pattie

This is a thank you song, Joey I changed the words
Your kids grown up and gone, so now you're watching birds
You've been their defender all these years,
The least of us all - as small as tears,
All of your wisdom's ringing true,
And Daddy would be so proud of you,
For every mom has a holy choice
And every child has the sweetest voice;
Mama please see this baby through,
Maybe she'll save the world for you.

There's a yearning, a voice inside, something I can't explain;
There's a feeling like someone cried, someone discovered pain.
I wish it was me this time to say
"Baby don't cry, you're here to stay".
Mama please see this baby through,
She would do anything for you;
Cause I know this world can be so wrong:
"Terminate these, they don't belong"
Don't be afraid, girl take a stand,
Somebody's heart beats in your hand.

"I heard my mother's voice; I felt my mother dance,
From somewhere deep inside, I waited for the chance
To be confounded by the world
To be somebody's little girl,
But there was nothing I could do...
I was the one you never knew."

And in my head I'll always hold your hand,
"Look at me crawl mom, look at me stand".
Mama please see this baby through,
Guarding a life inside of you.

You were an accident, you were my enemy...
Something I could prevent so I could still be free.
Science put me in charge that day,
Science flushed all your life away...
Mama please see this baby through -
People will say she looks like you

Cause I heard you say it, don't deny,
"Take it away, it has to die"
Mama please see this baby through,
Freedom is just a point of view.

Some people don't feel the same as you,
"If other girls do it, I can too.
Doctor I'll put my faith in you".
"Just toss it away like an old shoe...
Collateral damage from a screw."
