about

"Those Who Never Spoke" tells the story of a young mother who is faced with a difficult decision regarding an unexpected pregnancy.

lyrics

I pictured you
Seeing you
Holding you
Just knowing you
And I could cry from love I grew, for you
Perfection’s what I never knew
But perfect’s how I pictured…

(CHORUS)
You were too good for this place
And as long as we live you won’t be erased
We can try to play God, but God don’t play
And I hope that they’re watching me now,
Cause I’m speaking up for those who never spoke

We didn’t deserve you
The world is a place where mothers choose for you
Well, maybe to take your life was her way of saving you
Yet there was a purpose you’d have served
Given life, given birth
Only God knows if you felt, or if it hurt

(CHORUS)

See, you would’ve been life’s best struggle
To behold the beauty in every stumble
And some say age is nothing but a number
But seventeen is too young to be a mother

(CHORUS)
