GIVE ME A CHANCE

Give me a chance to live, a chance to nurture and grow,
just like the little seedling that in your garden you sow.

Give me the chance to live in the comforts of mother's womb
just like you would like the comforts of your home.

Give me a chance to see the world
A chance to get my share of parental love and affection,

A chance to be a child, a chance to live my childhood.
A chance to learn, a chance to play.

A chance to nurture the world like you they say
Give me an opportunity to emerge
from the cocoon of a little girl to a young lady.

Don't kill me mother I pray to you
I am no less efficient than your son

Don't despise me because i am a girl,
As your strength tomorrow i will whirl

Give me a chance to blossom and feel,
Give me a chance to be "ME"
