Verse 1
They [Bm]tell her she's too yo[G]ung
To be a m[Em7]other to a c[A]hild
That she's o[Bm]nly just be[G]gun
To s[Em7]ee what life's ab[A]out
They tell her d[Bm]on't be crazy
He w[G]on't get married
You [Em7]get yourself a c[A]ollege degree
But she c[Bm]an't deny it
The b[G]abe inside her
Is tr[E5]uly alive
She says

Verse 2
The world will n[Bm]ever underst[G]and
That l[Em7]ove is sacri[A]fice

So if they c[Bm]all me crazy

To g[Em7]et me to bet[A]ray the Truth
Well [Bm]I hope I'm ready
To s[G]tand and carry
My c[E5]ross up and say

This pro[C]mise that I make today
I m[D]ake forever more
