I almost lived today
I almost breathed one breath
I would have let out a cry
If my mother hadn't sentenced me to death

I almost opened my eyes
I almost woke from sleeping
But my mother had an abortion
She didn't think I was worth keeping

I almost had hopes
I was almost able to dream
But they took my life from me
And they didn't hear me scream

I almost had a hero
That almost saved the day
She was almost my mother
But she took my life away
