Just Five Months Old Songtext
Five months old
You were only five months old
Still living on your mother′s love
Still too young to say a word
Too young to call her "Mom."
Yet they rushed you under blinding lights
Cold rooms, silent knives
Seven o'clock, the waiting starts
Love was locked outside the door
They said, "Two or three short hours
She′ll be back just like before."
Waiting... hoping... holding breath
Seven hours passed in fear
They rolled you out so quietly
And nothing felt the same from here
They said you were doing fine
But tubes were covering your skin
They said the surgery went well
But you never opened your eyes again
Oh baby, you were five months old
You hadn't learned to call her "Mom."
How could you leave this world so soon?
How could you be gone?
Oh baby, you were five months old
Before her arms could raise you strong
Were you taken by the hands of men
Who wore white coats but did such wrong?
They said you lost the fight for life
That fate was something you couldn't win
But you were breathing when you went inside
So tell me—how did this begin?
If time alone could heal your pain
Why cut so deep, why intervene?
If your heart had already stopped
Why torture hope in that cold room scene?
Isn′t this a world of laws?
Then why is justice beaten down?
Why does fairness disappear
When truth dares make a sound?
Oh baby, you were five months old
You hadn′t learned to call her "Mom."
How could you leave this world so soon?
How could you be gone?
Oh baby, you were five months old
Before her arms could raise you strong
Were you taken by the hands of men
Who wore white coats but did such wrong?
Saving lives became a lie
Profit spoke while truth went silent
Tell me how a child so small
Became the price of greed and violence
Oh baby, you were five months old
We hadn't held you long enough
How could you leave this world so soon?
How could this be love?
My precious child, your mother cries
She′d trade the world to hold you tight
To call you "baby" one more time
To hear you breathe another night
Mothers everywhere will stand as one
To fight until the truth is known
My precious child, remember this—
You will never walk alone
You were only five months old
Still living on your mother′s love
Still too young to say a word
Too young to call her "Mom."
Yet they rushed you under blinding lights
Cold rooms, silent knives
Seven o'clock, the waiting starts
Love was locked outside the door
They said, "Two or three short hours
She′ll be back just like before."
Waiting... hoping... holding breath
Seven hours passed in fear
They rolled you out so quietly
And nothing felt the same from here
They said you were doing fine
But tubes were covering your skin
They said the surgery went well
But you never opened your eyes again
Oh baby, you were five months old
You hadn't learned to call her "Mom."
How could you leave this world so soon?
How could you be gone?
Oh baby, you were five months old
Before her arms could raise you strong
Were you taken by the hands of men
Who wore white coats but did such wrong?
They said you lost the fight for life
That fate was something you couldn't win
But you were breathing when you went inside
So tell me—how did this begin?
If time alone could heal your pain
Why cut so deep, why intervene?
If your heart had already stopped
Why torture hope in that cold room scene?
Isn′t this a world of laws?

Why does fairness disappear
When truth dares make a sound?
Oh baby, you were five months old
You hadn′t learned to call her "Mom."
How could you leave this world so soon?
How could you be gone?
Oh baby, you were five months old
Before her arms could raise you strong
Were you taken by the hands of men
Who wore white coats but did such wrong?
Saving lives became a lie
Profit spoke while truth went silent
Tell me how a child so small

Oh baby, you were five months old

To fight until the truth is known
My precious child, remember this—
You will never walk alone
