[Edward A. Guest]

[...]For all the joys thy child shall bring

The risk of grief we'll run

To all parents:

[Sarah Matthews]

You're born, raised and then torn down

To look a little more like everyone you meet

And everyday that goes by

You look a little less like who you used to be

[PreChorus]

I don't mind the people staring

Cause I know they never see me anyway

In these days, all the worlds the stage

And everyone one just wants to be the star

[Edward A. Guest]

[....]we'll love him while we may

[Sarah Matthews]

This is all too heavy

If you believe in your self

But no one can hurt you

Without your consent

And I'm not giving in

I'm not giving in

And I'm not giving in

[PreChorus]

I don't mind the people staring

Cause I know they never see me anyway

And everyday that goes by

You look a little less like who you used to be

[PreChorus]

I don't mind the people staring

Cause I know they never see me anyway

In these days, all the worlds the stage

And everyone one just wants to be the star

[Chorus]

This is all too heavy

If you believe in your self

But no one can hurt you

Without your consent

And I am not giving in

[Chorus]

This is all too heavy

If you believe in your self

But no one can hurt you

Without your consent

And I am not giving in

I'm not giving in

And I'm not giving in

[Edward A. Guest]

I'll lend you, for a little time, a child of mine

For you to love the while she lives

And mourn for when she's dead

And from the throngs that crowd

Life's lanes, I have selected you

Now will you give her all your love

Nor think the labor vain

Nor hate me when I come to call to

Take her back again?
