[00:52.19]You see shes 18, and shes a bit conscious
[00:54.92]About her dress and the reflection of her own image
[00:57.86]Timid in speech, shes limited given a week
[01:00.35]With her tummy blowing up so that people can see
[01:03.34]But she decides to keep it, said no to abortion
[01:06.26]The feet kicks in her stomach comes without a warning
[01:09.60]She feels the pain though, cause her parents cry
[01:11.93]And the shame eats her alive when she closed her eyes
[01:14.73]Then the day comes, she gives birth to a son

[02:03.12]A needle in space in which rain makes it a beautiful place
[02:05.99]Embraced by the culture and he’s loved by all the members
[02:08.53]Until he turns 18 and his world get flipped
[02:11.39]He hears that his mom is not actually his and that complications
[02:14.65]Prevented her from having any kids and his real mom
