Unfolding today

A miracle play

This Illinois morn

The father -- he sighs

She opens her eyes

Their baby is born

"We don't understand

It's not like we planned"

The doctor shakes his head

"Aborted" 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?

No hearing is sought

No lawyers are brought

They just won't let him eat

They wrap him up tight

And turn out the light

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?

It's over and done

Nobody has won

And no one gets a prize

Behind your disguise

Your rhetoric lies

You watched a baby starve

I bear the blame

The cradle's below

And where is baby ...
