What about your deepest feelings
What about your broken heart
What about someone who’s there
When everything else falls apart
A true brother a true sister
Is there with a helping hand
When you cry
you’ll find my shoulder
When you need me I’ll be there
Top university with big dreams
The best school in the country
was in Beijing
She was smart
with a bright future
He had a smile like hers
and caring eyes
that looked right through her
Cold winter but he made her warm
So when he asked her out
she texted right back sure
Her roommates all teased her
When his picture showed up
on her phone screensaver
Same classes the same major
Together all day from 6 AM
until he made her
Go home to sleep
and in her dreams
She didn’t count sheep
she saw him as her savior
Their first kiss in a corner
of the campus
His lips were untrained
but she taught him manners
At three months
they had a special date
Rented a hotel room
with the money he had saved her
At four months
it turns out she’s late
They both knew that the moment
had sealed their fate
A pregnant woman
can’t run the rat race
It was done in three hours
on a Saturday ay
A true brother a true sister
Is there with a helping hand
When you cry
you’ll find my shoulder
When you need me I’ll be there
One child one child
One child might be a king
One child one child
She could be everything
Married in the fall
pregnant by the spring
Their future was as bright
as the diamond on her ring
By the summer it was clear
that the winter would bring
Another life into their family
that’s what they had dreamed
The new year brought a new life
into the world
A new generation
a little baby girl
Finally they felt so complete
Named her faith
their future made concrete
Mom went back to work
dad taught his class
Grandma watched the child
while grandpa took a nap
But in their hearts
they felt a hole
Next to little baby faith
where another should go
But the law said
one child is all they need
More than that
is unpatriotic indeed
Another child means paying
steep taxes and fees
And they were told
it’s just one more mouth to feed
So when her belly
gets large again
The moment should be joyful
but it’s hard on them
In their own family
they don’t have a voice
Because the law says the country
doesn’t have a choice
What about your deepest feelings
What about your broken heart
What about someone who’s there
When everything else falls apart
A true brother a true sister
Is there with a helping hand
When you cry
you’ll find my shoulder
When you need me I’ll be there
One child one child
One child might be a king
One child one child
She could be everything
What about your deepest feelings
What about your broken heart
What about someone who’s there
When everything else falls apart
A true brother a true sister
Is there with a helping hand
When you cry
you’ll find my shoulder
When you need me I’ll be there
One child one child
One child might be a king
One child one child
She could be everything
