Lyrics

What Is and What Should Be

Jen is only fifteen when she has her baby
No one there to hold her hand
She signs the papers, walks away and leaves him
Praying someday he'll understand

Acouple down on Elm Street long to have a family
Never stop holding onto hope
The telephone rings, they hear those words
A baby boy needs a home

Though the odds may be against you (CHORUS)
Let the stars spell out your name
Cause sometimes angels smile and for a little while
What is and what should be are the same

For eighteen years she wonders, could he forgive her
For giving his love away
She holds his letter, filled with emption
She sries at what he has to say

CHORUS

BRIDGE
She walks in, a young man's standing there
They're both nervous and afraid
Doesn't take her long to realize
He's the best mistake she ever made

CHORUS w/tag
