To the child I'll never know
I wish I could've watched you grow
And maybe I'd have grown myself
Maybe finally got some help
What should feel like a blessing
I can't keep from second-guessing
And the voices in my head
Have filled my heart and soul with dread
There are so many what-ifs
I can't promise life's a gift
I'm sorry I was not prepared
And instead I was plain scared
You'll never run or laugh or play
You'll never live to see one day
And as awful as it seems
You were only just a dream
Cuz what my mother couldn't do
Is what I'm going to do for you...
To the child I never knew
