Your mother didn’t love you,

            But someone took you in.

            Brought you into their home,

            A home without sin.

            A blessing to a family,

            The family that took you in.

            This is not a favor they are doing for you,

            But because their blessings are too few.

            Your mother didn’t love you,

            But a family took you in.

            To only give you a great life,

            A great life without sin.
