about

This song is a personal one about my own struggles with deciding whether or not to have children. I knew I wasn't alone when my friends decided to get together to talk about it. Check out the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePAjIa0yJDU

lyrics

I don't know how to have your baby
That's probably why I keep saying maybe
In the dead of night I'm out on the lawn
But the moon and stars can't say what I want
And I think it's because I just don't know how
To have your baby

I don't know how to own an angel
I wonder if I've been made able
To protect from all uncertain danger
And give my life to a perfect stranger
Oh honey I love you but I just don't know how
To have your baby

Well every night's the same dream
I'm eaten by a snake
And I have to cut her belly open
And kill her to escape
Then I wake up right by your side
And everything's ok
And I never ever ever want that to change

I don't know how to have your baby
My body promises no safety
I can see her smile in your big blue eyes
When you laugh out loud I can hear her cries
I can almost touch her, but honey I just don't know how
To have your baby
