Late night call, collect from Arkansas
She said, brother I need your help
She said, there`s this boy
And I could by the crack in her voice
She was in real trouble and all by herself
She said, I don`t want to be a burden
It`s not your problem
Maybe I should just hang up
After all, we`re years apart and not much in common
And we haven`t kept in touch
And I said, I may have moved away
And I know that on the day I left
I let you down
But you`re still my baby sister
So always remember, it`s by blood that we are bound
I may be here, but I`ll always be there for you
I know it`s bad, but you gotta tell Mom and Dad
You don`t have to do this all alone
If I leave right now, I should be there by morning
And we can tell them together when I get home
We`ll talk and pray and cry a little
We`ll work this thing out
We`ll do whatever it takes
We`ll stand beside you, try to guild you
That`s what familys about
But it`s your decision to make
Six months later on a Sunday morning
That baby girl was born
And we all stood in wonder around the bed
Looking at her that little pink sleeper
I knew in my heart that she wanted to keep her
But God had a bigger plan instead
A young couple came and I heard my sister say
I just wanna give my child the life that she deserves
We all held hands
Then hse handed her to them
And we all cried as she whispered these words
I`ll think about you every day
I`m only giving you away `cause I can`t raise you now
I brought you into this world
You`ll always be my little girl
It`s by blood that we are bound
I may be here, but I`ll always be there for you
