Pada suatu hari ada seorang penebang kayu yang sedang menebangi cabang sebuah pohon, yang melintang di atas sungai. Tiba-tiba kapaknya terjatuh ke sungai itu. Ketika ia mulai menangis, Tuhan menampakkan diri dan bertanya, "Mengapa kamu menangis?" Si penebang kayu menjawab bahwa kapaknya telah terjatuh ke dalam sungai. Segera Tuhan masuk ke dalam air dan muncul dengan sebuah kapak emas. "Inikah kapakmu?" Tuhan bertanya. "Bukan" si penebang kayu menjawab. Tuhan masuk kembali ke air dan muncul dengan kapak perak. "Inikah kapakmu?" Tuhan bertanya. "Bukan" si penebang kayu menjawab. Sekali lagi Tuhan masuk ke air dan muncul dengan kapak besi. "Inikah kapakmu?" Tuhan bertanya. "Ya" jawab si penebang kayu. Tuhan sangat senang dengan kejujurannya dan memberikan ketiga kapak itu kepadanya. Si penebang kayu pulang ke rumahnya dengan hati bahagia. Beberapa hari kemudian, si penebang kayu berjalan-jalan di sepanjan...
The special little angels that God has let us borrow
Have lived their too short lives knowing nothing but sorrow
Have lived their too short lives knowing nothing but sorrow
There
is nothing more precious than tiny little feet
Making the pitter patter sounds and make your life complete
Making the pitter patter sounds and make your life complete
Their
tiny little hands hold on to big hands they adore
Why can’t we love them equally and give them so much more
Why
must we find such angels in garbage cans and rivers
And hear about such horrors that up your spine send shivers
And hear about such horrors that up your spine send shivers
When
babies are so tiny they do not understand
Why mommy wasn’t there for them to lend a helping hand
Where
was she when they needed her where were the loving arms
The ones that were supposed to guard and keep them from all harm
The ones that were supposed to guard and keep them from all harm
Why
were those eyes so hateful, why’s mommy being so mean
What have I done to make her ignore my desperate screams
Maybe
someone will hear me is there a mommy there?
Will she please take me with her and show me that she cares
Will she please take me with her and show me that she cares
Dear
Lord, I’m just a baby, please make her understand
She’s not supposed to kill me or leave me in this can
Oh
God, I thought you told me that she would love me so
That she would love me always and rock me to and fro
That she would love me always and rock me to and fro
You
said that she would kiss me and hold me when I cry
But dear Lord she is leaving me and hoping that I die
I
am too small to crawl right now and much too small to walk
Oh Lord please won’t you tell her for I can’t even talk
Oh Lord please won’t you tell her for I can’t even talk
I
promise I’ll be happy, I promise I won’t cry
Oh please, dear Lord, please tell her, I’ll really really try
To
be the perfect baby I’ll do my very best
I’ll sleep, I promise, soundly, and even let her rest
I’ll sleep, I promise, soundly, and even let her rest
If
only she could hear my thoughts, I promise not to nag
Please someone won’t you help me, she’s put me in this bag
Maybe
someone will find me before the break of dawn
And care for me and love me before my life is gone
And care for me and love me before my life is gone
