Dreams, hopes, and prayers Brought to my knees right there Tubes were giving you breath All of my fears lead to death Nurses all aroundwith this look on their face I thought it could be my last embrace I held you down for each blood withdrawal Everytime it broke off a piece of my heart You were just so tiny and small You could hear my heart beat all down the hall The doctors looked with sadness in their eyes So many little babies had fought and died But you are mine You were made to shine Fighting is in your blood I gained more hope hearing your hearts little thud You are as strong as a fighter must be So I will be strong and pull out the mother in me I took you home with every medication in hand This will not be our last stand You will grow and be brave as you must do Because my heart would die without you So fight little boy Keep breathing on your own God can not call I will not let him call you home

Dreams, hopes, and prayers Brought to my knees right there Tubes were giving you breath All of my fears lead to death Nurses all aroundwith this look on their face I thought it could be my last embrace I held you down for each blood withdrawal Everytime it broke off a piece of my heart You were just so tiny and small You could hear my heart beat all down the hall The doctors looked with sadness in their eyes So many little babies had fought and died But you are mine You were made to shine Fighting is in your blood I gained more hope hearing your hearts little thud You are as strong as a fighter must be So I will be strong and pull out the mother in me I took you home with every medication in hand This will not be our last stand You will grow and be brave as you must do Because my heart would die without you So fight little boy Keep breathing on your own God can not call I will not let him call you home
