Little One
What would your favorite color in a box of crayons be
Would you draw inside the lines or would you scribble fancy free
Would you giggle at the touch of some ones lips upon your toes
And smile at kisses placed with love upon your tiny nose
But without a trace, You will leave this place
And return to God’s embrace
CHORUS:
So fly swiftly little one, back to the Father and the Son
Can you hear the heaven’s calling from above
Angels sing lullabies, and no baby ever cries
Cradled in the arms, of everlasting love
Fly your way…….Home
Would you like to read a book or would you rather run and play
Would you practice music after school or ride your bike each day
Chocolate ice cream or jelly beans tell me which one would you choose
And I wonder how old you would be when you’d learn to tie your shoes
But without a trace, You will leave this place
And return to God’s embrace
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Who made the choice, to deny this child a voice, and the wondrous day of birth
Who can decide, that this precious gift of life, Has… no… worth
I wish your mommy knew the joy, of a newborn at her side
And your daddy’s eyes would sparkle, with a brand new father’s pride
But instead they’ll bare the scar of loss that will never truly mend
And all their lives they’ll think about the child who might have been
Now without a trace, You will leave this place
And return to God’s embrace
(CHORUS)
Fly away…...Baby fly away…….Fly your way…….Home

This song was written about the heartbreak of abortion, not only the loss of a child's life, but also for the life-long wounds left on the hearts of the parents.
