Robert Jenkins songs
I read a book recently called, "The Debt".. I think it was by Angela Hunt. It inspired this song... for all of those who are considering adoption...
You Gave Me Life
Dear Mom,. I'm writing you this letter
Though I hardly even know how to begin it
And I don't know where you are in this big world
And if I did, I'm not sure that I could send it
I just wanted you to know that I'm alive and doing well
And I hope with all my heart you'd say the same about yourself
I hope you found some peace for that hard choice that you made
All those years ago, when you gave me away
You gave me hope
Gave me my start
And I say this from the bottom of my heart
The choice you made, turned out just right
So I thank you as I pen these words tonight
You gave me life.... you gave me life
Dear mom,.. that young couple who raised me
They've been a great and loving family
And I've got two real sweet baby sisters
They're the kind of folks I wish that you could meet
And I want you to know, mom, that I would not change a thing
And I want you to realize that it was no mistake
All those years ago you were just a kid yourself
But with the world upon your shoulders and no one 'round to help
You gave me hope
Gave me my start
And I say this from the bottom of my heart
That choice you made turned out just right
So I thank you as I pen these words tonight
You gave me life... you gave me life
You gave me life... you gave me ... life
