Lyrics

[Intro Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Oh Little Jimmy he’s acting silly
He crawls across the floor into the hall
He looks through the window
And tries to touch the sky

Oh Little Jimmy it’s such a pity
So full of life, a future in his mind
Just doesn’t know that time’s not on his side

[Chorus 1]
Out from a room where this child was doomed
Was the start of a tragedy
Mother took a hit that she couldn’t resist
As his heart began to beat
The day he was born, he wasn’t too strong
It was so hard to see
He didn’t have a choice now he won’t have a chance
To grow and see his dreams

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Little Jimmy, watching little kitty
A smile on his face as he’s giving chase
He can’t go too far until he feels the strain

Little Jimmy, he’s feeling chilly
He tries keeping warm in his mother’s arms
But he just can’t sit
He wants to play all day

[Chorus 2]
Mother’s really sad, she was selfish and bad
She’ll live with her mistake
While she was high with the child inside
She couldn’t see his face
The day he was born she would learn it was wrong
But she couldn’t change his fate
Now everyday as she’s starting to pray
She sees the price she paid

[Outro Instrumental]
