Legacy

this song has come from seeing a picture of yet another abused child... why do people have children and then turn around and take them from the world? a child is a miracle and can single handedly change your life forever. ivve seen too many videos of abused children and when its not leaving me in tears its sending me to the toilet to throw up... as a mother i know how stressful being a parent can be and as a post sufferer of PND i know that it can feel like its too much at times but i just dont understand how a parent can do that to thier own flesh and blood... rapists and murderers are nothing compared to a person who can take the life of something THEY created.

Legacy:

chorus:
how you can put your hands
on something that you made
and watch those tiny eyes
slowly fade to black
how can you take the life
of something that you made
take your ownly legacy
and make it fade away

verse 1
so young so sweet
i smile when you smile
laugh when you laugh
grandma loves you
now ill never see
your rosy red cheeks
ten fingers ten toes
cute lil button nose

pre hook:
so innocent
so sweet
taken away
my legacy
so innocent
so cute
taken away
by you

chorus:

verse 2:
i just dont understand how it works
how can you not love your blood
how can you not love
if its your own dna
how can you take away
something so sweet n small
how can you hate
something so innocent
how can you hate me
let it all go to waste

bridge:
abused by you
tortured by you
never knew
a real life
murdered by you
destroyed by you
never to see
another day
