Stranded I am in an unfeeling world
My heart aches terribly from pain beyond wordsI remember when I was eighteen and shy
Young, beautiful and budding like a butterfly
In love I was and sang with the birds
My head swirled up in the skies
Then I came crashing hardly
From colossal heights unworldly
He was my very first love
Or was he my first lust?
We burned in the heat of love
Love as pure and innocent as a dove
He brought murder to my virginity
I had a rebirth in my femininity
Out of that passionate night came a son
Who has become my sun
A single mother I am
Left by the world to damn
My lover gone in a single blink
Deserting me in a cruel world to sink
But in my gloomy life
I’ve found a streak of sunshine
That son borne out of shame, disgrace
Has become my joy, my happiness
As I look into his sparkling eyes
And behold his innocent gaze
There is no river I can’t cross
Nor mountain I can’t climb
Though there’ll be upheavals
For him I’ll stay strong
For in him I found a reason to live
A purpose, a reason to be happy
