A Song For My Baby (Kainoa Thomas)

Posted by Liberty on Nov 2, '07 11:31 AM for everyone

My baby still lies within my dreams, waiting to be born. Yet, just like any woman carrying a child inside of her, I am already filled with so much love for this precious life I am honored and privileged to be nursing inside my womb. I know I cannot shelter her from every life storms, or tears, but if I could, I would....

My baby, this song is for you.

If I Could

sung by Celine Dion

if I could

I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes

give you courage in a world of compromise

yes, I would

 

if I could

I would teach you all the things I've never learned

and I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned

yes, I would

if I could

 

I would try to shield your innocence from time

but the part of life I gave you isn't mine

"I'll watch you grow", so I could let you go

 

if I could

I would help you make it through the hungry years

but I know that I could never cry your tears

but I would

if I could

 

yes, if I live

in a time and place where you don't want to be

you don't have to walk along this road with me

my yesterday won't have to be your way

 

if I knew

I would try to change the world I brought you to

and there isn't very much that I could do

but I would

if I could

 

oh baby

I just want to protect you

and help my baby through the hungry years

'cause you're part of me

and if you ever ever ever need

I said a shoulder to cry on

or just someone to talk to

I'll be there, I'll be there

 

I didn't change the world

but I would

if I could
