When the World’s at Stake Team StarKid (Ft. Rachael Soglin)

[MOTHER]
At first I didn't want it
Her daddy, well, we didn't fit
But I couldn't swing it
I was scared to do it alone

Seventeen and pregnant
Not what I had in mind
Her daddy was a farmer
But not the wealthy kind

I wanted to be a dancer
But not the kind that did for pay
Who was this new person
That was getting in my way?

I could've walked out
Left her for dead
Cut her out with my own hands
But something in me
Was kicking and screaming to live

When the world's at stake
There are lives to save
And even though I shake
My hands at God I pray
Let her have a better life
Than I can provide
Lord have mercy on my soul
As I try to do her right
