Visions of Love

I dreamed I was a dancer
In the ballet that you went to
Late last week.

I dreamed I was an artist
Painting pictures of the places
That you've been.

I dreamed I was a writer
Of the songs you listen to
Before you go to sleep.

I dreamed I was a promise
And a blessing that you wanted
To keep.

Don't think that I don't know you,
Or I don't know the things you say.
That if I weren't inside of you
Your life would be yours again.

And if you had just taken
Some responsibility
You wouldn't have a choice to make
Or a life not yours to give and take

But responsibility has chanbed.
I am living inside of you
I am growing up to be
And you are responsible for me.

I am as you once were
The child in your mother's womb.
No an it to discard at a whim
To destroy before I have a chance.

If your mother had done to you
What you have said you'd do to me
You would have been dead
And spared this responsibility.

Don't look at me as inconvenience,
But as a living growing child.
And if you cannot care for me
There are plenty in the world who will.

I dreamed I was a fireman
Saving people from the death 
By the flame.

I dreamed I was a lawyer
Saving people from injustice
In the court of law.

I dreamed I was a preacher
Saving people's souls
To give to God.

I dreamed I was a doctor
Saving lives of infants
Yet unborn.

Just like me.

You hold my life inside of you
And my existance in your whim
Please save me from this death
That you are contemplating.

To deprive me now is murder
Because I am alive
And because I have dreamed
Of what I hope to become.

Don't take away my chance to live
Don't take away my dreams
Don't take away my hopes
Or my chance to call you "Mother."
