Is this what you wanted? Nobody won And everything broken Before it even begun Is this what your dreams held when you first held me? Did somebody tell you what a little child needs? But somebody say a prayer for me Wish I'd do better than anyone here Wish I'd make something out of life Wish I'd make somebody proud Why can't I go now And never look back? Do you suddenly need me To keep your life on track? you've done nothing, nothing, nothing worth anything right Holding me down in your shadow, keeping me away from the light And someone who'd say a prayer for me Someone who knows how to get out of here Someone who'd gladly step aside to let me have some kind of life Is this what you wanted, Oh, mother of mine? Did you ever listen When your little baby cried? Somebody say a prayer for me Wish I'd do better than anyone here Wish I'd make something out of life Wish I'd make somebody proud Is this what you wanted, Oh, mother of mine? Did you ever listen when your little baby cried?
