David Parkes
On Father Tommy Lane's web site, came a link to this song, which he gave with permission from Jim and Margaret Byrne of Navan, in County Meath, Ireland, who wrote the lyrics and music and own the copyright. It is in the middle of the page linked above.
It is sung by David Parkes, and is a pro-life song sung by a baby who is about to be aborted, asking us to PLEASE LET ME LIVE. I have reproduced the lyrics below, but have linked to a video of Mr. Parkes singing it, and explaining what it means to him.
There will be no dawn or sunset for this child to see,
For today his short existence will have ceasd to be.
Unborn, unknown, and undefended,
For it has been decided that his life should be ended.
But, in my dreams I can hear him say:
Please let me live. Please let me stay.
Maybe I'll have eyes of blue and hair of gold so softly curled.
Maybe I could look like you. Please let me see this great big world.
Maybe I'm a little boy, with laughing eyes and tears of joy,
Someone who'll be there to smile, when you can say: "Twas all worthwhile."
Please let me live to share with you
Be there with you when sorrow comes.
Please let me live to cry with you,
For all of us tomorrow comes.
Maybe I could be a king,
To save the world from greater sin.
Do you think I'm just a friend?
To die for you, is this the end?
Lonely beats this heart of mine.
but sure we'll meet somewhere, sometime.
Thought perhaps you'd say hello
I know you'll never let me go.
Please let me live to share with you.
Be there with you when sorrow comes.
Please let me live to laugh with you,
For all of us tomorrow comes.
Please let me live to share with you.
Be there with you when sorrow comes.
Please let me live to laugh with you,
For all of us tomorrow comes.
