Verse 1
     Bm                   G
They tell her she's too young
         Em7         A
To be a mother to a child
            Bm         G
That she's only just begun
    Em7              A
To see what life's about
               Bm        
They tell her don't be crazy
    G
He won't get married
    Em7             A
You get yourself a college degree
         Bm
But she can't deny it
     G
The babe inside her
     E5
Is truly alive
She says

Verse 2 
                Bm          G
The world will never understand
      Em7         A
That love is sacrifice
      Bm               G
It's more than just romance
           Em7            A
It's the reason for our lives
            Bm
So if they call me crazy
     G
And try to cage me
    Em7         A
To get me to betray the Truth
     Bm
Well I hope I'm ready
    G
To stand and carry
    E5
My cross up and say

This promise that I make today
   D
I make forever more
