(Parents)

We did the best we could

We denied you nothing, it did no good

Where did we fail?

You're beyond the pale

What were we supposed to do?

You think you need to change

But what you're thinking it sounds insane

It's in God's hands

He has a plan

It's what you have to do 

You're no child of mine

You’re no child of mine

You're no child of mine

You’re no child of mine

Your mom and I will pray

You'll see the light and find your way

So don’t say no

You'll have to go

It's what you have to do

You're no child of mine

You’re no child of mine

You're no child of mine

You’re no child of mine

 

(Child)

I hurt no one, it doesn't seem to matter

What have I done?  Whose dreams have all been shattered?

Now, lost and alone, no place to call home

The mirror lies, that's not the way it should be

I could cry, the joke is always on me   

Now, what is my name?      Why am I blamed?

Why do you curse me this way?

Why do you treat me like you always do?

Why do you curse me this way?

Why do you treat me like I hurt you?                                                              

I didn't ask, to be born with this condition

I didn't choose to be placed in this position

Now, what should I do? If I want to be true

Why do you curse me this way?

Why do you treat me like you always do?

Why do you curse me this way?

Why do you treat me like I hurt you?

Why do you curse me this way?                                       You’re no child of mine.

Why do you treat me like you always do?                        You’re no child of mine.

Why do you curse me this way?                                       You’re no child of mine. 

Why do you treat me like I hurt you?                               You’re no child of mine.
