Baby Doe |
Unfolding today |
A miracle play |
This Indiana morn |
The father--he sighs |
She opens her eyes |
Their baby boy is born |
«We don’t understand |
He’s not like we planned» |
The doctor shakes his head |
«Abnormal» they cry |
And so they decide |
This child is better dead |
I bear the blame |
Believers are few |
And what am I to do? |
I share the shame |
The cradle’s below |
And where is Baby Doe? |
A hearing is sought |
The lawyers are bought |
The court won’t let him eat |
The papers applaud |
When judges play God |
This child is getting weak |
They’re drawing a bead |
Reciting their creed |
«Respect A Woman’s Choice» |
I’ve heard that before |
How can you ignore |
This baby has a voice |
I bear the blame |
Believers are few |
And what am I to do? |
I share the shame |
The cradle’s below |
And where is Baby Doe? |
Where will it end |
Oh |
No |
No |
It’s over and done |
The presses have run |
Some call the parents brave |
Behind your disguise your rhetoric lies |
You watched a baby starve |
I bear the blame |
The cradle’s below |
And where is Baby? |
