The baby can't stop crying As she places it in the box She finds a dumpster to throw it in As she walks along the docks There was nothing else, she could do A mother, at only fifteen She hurries away as fast as she can As she hears her baby scream A runaway, she's all alone An addict, for years on crack Her baby left alone to die But still, she won't turn back Thrown away, like a piece of trash A baby, without a name An innocent child abandoned By a mother who bears no blame Another victim of circumstance Shamelessly, cast aside With no one there to hear it's cries The abandoned baby died

Abandoned
The baby can't stop crying As she places it in the box She finds a dumpster to throw it in As she walks along the docks There was nothing else, she could do A mother, at only fifteen She hurries away as fast as she can As she hears her baby scream A runaway, she's all alone An addict, for years on crack Her baby left alone to die But still, she won't turn back Thrown away, like a piece of trash A baby, without a name An innocent child abandoned By a mother who bears no blame Another victim of circumstance Shamelessly, cast aside With no one there to hear it's cries The abandoned baby died
