Can you hear me?

My child, my child now gone from me
My heart is like an empty sea
My womb is like an open grave
The pain is buried deep away

O I should weep a thousand years
The sea could not contain my tears for you
Mama, can you hear me now?
I'm singing with the angels dancing ʻround

Mama, do not be afraid
My love for you will never change
I've always loved you
And every tear I've seen you weep

Is held by God's ocean of mercy
Mother Mary is it true?
My child is there in heaven with you?
Will you call my child by name

And give the love I never gave?
O Mary will you hold my child in your arms?
Mary, will you let me hold my child in your arms?
Mary, will you hold us both in your arms to rest
To rest in peace?

(A song of mourning for all babies
Who have died through abortion
A prayer of healing for souls suffering
From the wound of abortion
A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing
And loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children
And she would not be consoled
Because her children were no more
