Dame Una Oportunidad

This song is dedicated
To all those mothers
Who want to kill their children
Mom, listen to me

I'm innocent, I'm not to blame
I'm that unexpected news
You didn't see me coming
And I know you're sad
Because you didn't want this

You're hurt
But I ask for life
I want to be born even though I don't know
What awaits me in life, I want to see your face
I want to be born and hug you
I want to be your joy
How can I make you understand

Give me a chance, please
I'm not a curse, I'm a blessing
Where I come from
I was created for you
I know one day I'll make you happy

Give me a chance, please
I'm not a curse, I'm a blessing
Where I come from
I was created for you
I know one day I'll make you happy

Mom

I know you were deceived
Left alone
Empty promises
And abandoned
You opened, opened your heart
But they never entered
You fell in love
But you weren't valued

I don't know what's going on
But I hear voices
Telling you to
Abort me, that you don't know me
That I'm a problem
And I've ruined your life
But God sends me
That's what I know

I could be the next lawyer
I could be a teacher or what
You've always dreamed of
I could be an engineer
A smart man, a firefighter
I could be a police officer
Or the next baseball player
I could be a doctor
Preacher or pastor
I'll surely fail
But I'll learn from the mistake

Don't take my life
Fill yourself with courage
That God sends me
With a sign of love

Give me a chance, please
I'm not a curse, I'm a blessing
Where I come from
I was created for you
I know one day I'll make you happy

Give me a chance, please
I'm not a curse, I'm a blessing
Where I come from
I was created for you
I know one day I'll make you happy

Mom

I know that in these moments
You can't see it
That you're very scared and
You don't know what to do
Questions without answers
Wounds without healing
You think taking me out
Of your womb will solve it
But deep inside you
I know you want to see me

Give me caresses
And hold me in your arms
You want to kiss me
Take care of me and protect me
I'm here now
Soon you'll get to know me

I want to be born even though I don't know
What awaits me in life, I want to see your face
I want to be born and hug you
I want to be your joy
How can I make you understand

Give me a chance, please
I'm not a curse, I'm a blessing
Where I come from
I was created for you
I know one day I'll make you happy

Give me a chance, please
I'm not a curse, I'm a blessing
Where I come from
I was created for you
I know one day I'll make you happy

Psalms 139
16 Your eyes saw my embryo
And in your book were written all those things
That were later formed
Not one of them was missing

Don't take my life, fill yourself with courage
That God sends me as a sign
Of love
Give me a chance
