Walked down the street
Hold my head up high
Everywhere I go
Someone tells me a lie
A lie
A lie
A lie

Mothers and babies
Well, they're both the same
Oh, they're born to each other
And they're given a name
A name
A name
A name

Rain starts to fall and
Like the leaves on the trees
And everywhere you go
Someone's down on their knees
Begging please
Please
Please

So we sing a song
And we say a prayer
And someone says
Baby, you're only halfway there
Oh, oh
You're halfway there (oh)
