The Dream Of This Child
The story behind the song...
I wrote this song in 1996 when I was 16 years old.
In 2009, when my husband and I were expecting our first child, I felt our baby move for the first time.
I had always been Pro-Life, but having this tiny miracle growing inside me really made an impact on my heart. The thought came to me that there must be NO WAY ending the life of an unborn baby could be legal once you were able to feel movement from the baby, so I began to look further into the facts about abortion, and what I discovered was absolutely heartbreaking.
I felt compelled to get "The Dream of This Child" out to the public, and much of this video was put together with tears streaming down my face. I am convinced that if more people knew the TRUTH about their unborn baby and the horror of abortions and how they are performed, they wouldn't think twice about letting their baby live.
LYRICS
The Dream Of This Child
Music & Lyrics ©Cheri DeGruccio
She will be beautiful
long golden hair
a heart that finds hope
through the darkest despair
She'll be a mother
gentle and wise
they will see love
when they look in her eyes
That is the dream of this child
that she can believe for a while
But she'll never fall in love
Shell never see a sunrise
Look in her mother's eyes
From her her life has been torn
This day will be her last
She'll never get past
Being unborn
He will be handsome
tall dark and strong
Someone to turn to
when life's going wrong
He'll be a father
stand proud and tall
Gentle protector
leader of all
That is the dream of this child
That he can believe for a while
But he'll never fall in love
He'll never see a sunrise
Look in his mother's eyes
From him his life has been torn
This day will be his last
He'll never get past
Being unborn
Unless we open up their eyes
And let them hear our voice
It's a child not a choice
They'll never fall in love
They'll never see a sunrise
Look in each other's eyes
From them their life has been torn
This day will be their last
Will this day be their last
Will they get past
Being unborn
