Paroles de This time

She sat cold in a waiting room Frightened and all alone Watched the clock tick down Knowing that her baby would soon be gone Her head slung low, so embarrassed She was 13 years old She felt a kick inside as a reminder Of a life she couldn't show Then she heard a voice inside say "run away! It was a mistake, but don't throw your child away!" Then she fell into a light sleep Had a dream about a little girl There was a birthday cake and three candles She was living in another world She saw the little girl become a woman Living in a happy home Then she was suddenly awakened By a voice that called her name They said, "don't worry, you'll be fine You're still young, we see this all the time." Right then the lord began to speak: "You're not taking this one! She's mine! She'll grow up and seek my name You're not taking her! She's mine! And you're not taking her this time No, you're not taking her this time." She laid flat on the table She asked "please, can I talk to someone?" But a headstrong woman with a blank stare Said "we've gotta get this done." Then she cried out, "lord, please help me! I've got to get to a phone! I need to call my mother To help me find my baby a home!" They said, "don't worry, you'll be fine You're still young, we see this all the time." Right then the lord began to speak: "You're not taking this one! She's mine! She'll grow up to seek my name You're not taking her this time I started before time began Her name is written in the book They didn't have the power to take her life. They're not taking her - she's mine! You're not taking her this time No, you're not taking her this time." No, you're not taking her this time
