Only a Mother Could

Only a Mother Could

I don’t like today
I haven’t liked any day since you’ve been ripped away
And the people round me don’t know what to say
What can anyone say?

I was the one who carried you for nine months
I was the one to endure the pain
But just one look at your beautiful face was enough
To replace it all with joy.

Where are you now?
What did they feed you? How many lies have been told?
If I could hold you now I would, oh I would
Like only a mother could, only a mother could.

I was the one who carried you for nine months
I was the one to endure the pain
But just one look at your beautiful face was enough
To replace it all with joy.

I was the one who carried you for nine months
I was the one to endure the pain
But just one look at your beautiful face was enough
To replace it all with joy.

Give my child back, bring my boy back, bring my baby home.
Give my child back, bring my boy back, bring my baby home.
Give my child back, bring my boy back, bring my baby home.
Just leave us alone, just leave us alone.

I was the one who carried you for nine months
I was the one to endure the pain
But just one look at your beautiful face was enough
To replace it all with joy.

I was the one who carried you for nine months
I was the one to endure the pain
But just one look at your beautiful face was enough
To replace it all with joy.

I was the one who carried you for nine months
I was the one to endure the pain
But just one look at your beautiful face was enough
To replace it all with joy.
