What can I say about a mother on the street
with a baby in her arms and no place to sleep
Mmm ..
Its cold in the city and no place for the weak . So help her to her feet
and give her something to eat .

Life is a gift ,
love needs to lift ,
Shovel and shift , no time to drift
For there’s a life on the line ,
now is the time for the baby in a box .

What can I say about the innocent child dumped in a doorway ,
where some rubbish is piled ,
no mummy kissed her ,
no Daddy smiled ,
stray cats are crying and the rats are running wild .

Life is a gift , love needs to lift ,
Shovel and shift , no time to drift
For there’s a life on the line :
now is the time for the baby in a box ,

What can I say about a life on the rocks ,
living on the fringe down at the docks .
Mmm ..
Lord have mercy on the baby in a box
she’s been expelled in an alley
to the school of hard knocks .

Life is a gift ,
love needs to lift .
Shovel and shift , no time to drift
For there’s a life on the line . now is the time for the baby in a box

What can I say about a baby in a box ,
her mother’s a habit and her heads full Of rocks mmm ..
there’s no lullabies
and no cradle rocks ,
for an angel in a alleyway inside a box .

Life is a gift , love needs to lift ,

Shovel and shift , no time to drift
For there’s a life on the line ,'
now is the time for the baby in a box
