Harry Chapin - The Shortest Story Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I am born today, the sun burns its promise in my eyes;
  • Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and cry.
  • Above me a cloud softly tumbles through the sky;
  • I am glad to be alive.
  • It is me seventh day, I taste the hunger and I cry;
  • my brother and sister cling to Mama's side.
  • She squeezes her breast, but it has nothing to provide;
  • someone weeps, I fall asleep.
  • It is twenty days today, Mama does not hold me anymore;
  • I open my mouth but I am too weak to cry.
  • Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky;
  • why is there nothing now to do but die?
