I never intended for this to become a regular thing here, but I keep coming across some great songs worth sharing. Thanks to a friend of mine for posting this video on his Facebook page this weekend. As much of a 70s music fan as I am, I am not totally familiar with Seals & Crofts, except for their song “Summer Breeze,” which I don’t exactly care for. But this song is great – released in 1974, one year after Roe v. Wade:

Lyrics for Unborn Child – from the album Unborn Child:
Oh little baby, you’ll never cry, nor will you hear a sweet lullabye.

Oh unborn child, if you only knew just what your momma was plannin’ to do.
You’re still a-clingin’ to the tree of life, but soon you’ll be cut off before you get ripe.
Oh unborn child, beginning to grow inside your momma, but you’ll never know.
Oh tiny bud, that grows in the womb, only to be crushed before you can bloom.

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over.
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over.
Stop, turn around, go back think it over.

Oh no momma, just let it be. You’ll never regret it, just wait and see.
Think of all the great ones who gave everything
That we might have life here, so please bear the pain.

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over.
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over.
Stop, turn around, go back think it over.
