harry chapin - the shortest story lyrics

Loading...

i am born today
the sun burns a promise
in my eye

mama strikes me
and i draw a breath and cry
above me a cloud
slowly tumbles through the sky
i am glad, to be alive

it is my seventh day
i taste the hunger
and i cry

my brother and sister
cling to mama’s side
she squeezes her breast
but it has nothing to provide
someone weeps, i fall asleep

it is twenty days today
mama does not hold me
anymore

i open my mouth
but i am to weak to cry
above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky
why is there nothing
now to do but die?
