Lyrics for The Shortest Story by Harry Chapin:
| | | Artist: | Harry Chapin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Shortest Story | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 91 | | | | Lyrics: | I am born today, the sun burns its promise in my eyes;
Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and
cry.
Above me a cloud softly tumbles through the sky;
I am glad to be alive.
It is
me seventh day, I taste the hunger and I cry;
my brother and sister cling to Mama's
side.
She squeezes her breast, but it has nothing to provide;
someone weeps, I fall
asleep.
It is twenty days today, Mama does not hold me anymore;
I open my mouth but I
am too weak to cry.
Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky;
why is there nothing now
to do but die? | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
