No Motherland Without You
Kai Woolen-Lewis
The letter came for me today
To ask me if I'd be
The surrogate for an unnamed man
Whose face I'll never see
He wrote me a letter signed an X in the dark
And a cheque for more money than I'd ever seen
Should I do it? Got one chance you blew it
Oh, what does motherhood even mean?
No surrogate
No substitute
The baby kicked at me today
We really get along
I had to stop, get my breath back
But I couldn't stop for long
They say he will be junior
And life will never be the same
Change my tack, sent him his cheque back
And I'll never go back
No surrogate
No substitute
