A-D-O-P-Tion
by Ceili Rain

Album: Manuka Honey

I was born- Mother Ann had me
Was no different in the 50's
Two hearts on love's sea got tossed
She got pregnant, he got lost
How she cried- and prayed for answers
Who in the world would help her?
Then she got the strangest notion
It seems she chose to spell "abortion"

A-D-O-P-TION- A-D-O-P-TION
Yeah she was my only friend
But now look, Lord- look at all of them
A-D-O-P-TION- A-D-O-P

Mary Beth- told her mother
When she could no longer cover
Up what she and Dave had done
Mom said: "You're not the only one
I had you, so I know the worry
'What's this thing inside my body?'
What happens to your body, that's yours to say
But this one has different DNA

A-D-O-P-TION- A-D-O-P-TION
Girl you are her only friend
Think ahead now- think of all of them
Who will love him or her- Give encouraging words
So do you have the nerve- To decide who deserves
A-D-O-P-TION- A-D-O-P-TION
Yeah she was my only friend
