So this is the sad one. Our baby died last year, his name was Hayden. We love and miss him, and this is for him.

“Mommy & Daddy Love you son”

VERSE 1

New Life quickens in womb time to see the physician
Future wife give him some room find a seat a position
Miss Varela and Mr Brannan I’ve this to tell ya
It’s a fella! Manage the planning of his develop-
-Ment a father to be Chogaia she gone be a mum
An the laughter the week got higher we want see our son
Scan after scan… leave nothing to chance
And start to plan… read up in advance
Father’s blood is rushing, a brain aching explosion
After much discussion, the name Hayden is chosen
Son we say ya lil face oh my god were we amazed…
Mummy swore that she’ll raise you but not like she was raised…
They’ll be no evil grandmother to burn ya hand on the oven
Believe yo we will plan stuff ya can learn ya nan gonna love and
Take ya to parks from the oven bake ya her tarts
Want another cake ya just ask “John another breaker of hearts
…I can hear the angel choir…
…aint no need to fear a painful life the…
…Past is the past…at last
You always be ours, no need to ask, you’re in our hearts!

HOOK 1 – DEKAY

But we loved you forever yes from the very start…
Won’t forget you no never you'll always be our star
As the pain nearly tears us apart…
No matter how much of the time has to pass...
You’re in our hearts

HOOK 2 – DEKAY & MATT

ONE Day…We Will Seeee…. You Soon
MUMmy And Dad…Dy Will Beeee… With You…

VERSE 2

GOD the pregnancy took its toll so mummy got iller
DOC I better see good results an none of ya filler
Gave her PILLS that didn’t work “Hey but chill” the flipping nurse
“Say they will” bullshit in words they made her Ill she’s gitting’ worse
Nah!…I don’t buy it, No drug from the packets will help
Them type'a medicines crap but there aint enough money…
To go private, so stuck on the National Health…
Then Hyperemesis Gravidarum it struck Mummy
She wouldn’t keep a thing down in and out the ladies
She couldn’t eat or drink “now think about ya baby’s
Growth try to keep it down” ya Mummy said “I’m trying!” nurse is
Slow why was she allowed a monthly cheque the lying worthless
OOH…something’s wrong not daring to shed a tear…
THEN we got the news that no parents should ever hear
There’s NO heartbeat our lil’ boy had left the building
Deaths SO hard we can’t avoid the death of children?
OH but Mummy’s screaming I let her then I hold her and say we’ll
OVERcome each demon together when we’re broke and unstable
DRUNK coz Dad is Dismal Defeated Doctors in question…
SON what’s tragic is all you needed was an injection…
At FIRST we didn’t hold as ya parents we are sorry
You were BORN sleeping son we couldn’t bare to see ya body
But we changed our minds saw you a vision knew I would cry
You know we couldn’t let ya go without kissing you a goodbye
…Bloody struggle to remain happy fun filled light goes
…But we muddle thru the pain gladly until life throws…
…Mummy and Daddy another new battle? Breath remains
…Honey I’m madly in love with you that’ll never change

HOOK 1 – DEKAY

But we loved you forever yes from the very start…
Won’t forget you no never you'll always be our star
As the pain nearly tears us apart…
No matter how much of the time has to pass...
You’re in our hearts

ONE Day…We Will Seeee…. You Soon

VERSE 3

…Meanwhile, the Epidurals set in mummy’s GETTING
Scared an though ya not breathing she’s still heavily pregnant
Fellas we can’t imagine it how upsetting
To give BIRTH to ya son when his souls already in Heaven
…Mum needs that comfy satin robe with the bunnies black
Funny strap so, dad went home to get mummy’s bag
…An when he got there haggard an’ cussing the gloom?
…An empty cot there gathering dust in the room
…Nappies in their packaging remain unopened here
…Daddy’s been imagining ya came to hold him near
…Goes in the kitchen made three waffles before he leaves
…Opens the fridge an baby bottles are all he sees
DARK forever prophesy the mother of surprise
It breaks my HEART I never got to see the colour of your eyes
It’s HARD to think about, so I’d rather think about
Seeing YOU in heaven with mummy Hayden fathers singing now

HOOK 1 – DEKAY

But we loved you forever yes from the very start…
Won’t forget you no never you'll always be our star
As the pain nearly tears us apart…
No matter how much of the time has to pass...
You’re in our hearts

VERSE 4

…Always kicking you was wild… man in ya first scan?
…Your face split into a smile… and when the nurse ran
Ya image we caught you happily weeing on the screen
And for minutes we saw you actually peeing honestly!
Quiet in the day loved to lie still happy snooze TODAY
But you’d be up at night and kicking when daddy’s music PLAYED
…Ya mother liked when ya tickled her stomach like
Butterflies in love with my rap slash forward lullaby’s
…These lyrics I made for you son coz this is my way
SO I’ll read these 4 verses to you when we visit ya grave
Mummy did ya some pictures son we’ll hang one
Above our bed so ya’ll always be with us son of Brannan,
Chogaia’s little man mother will never forget ya sister or brother? Whatever
You’re her first born so she’ll love ya forever
I cried once at hospital an’ twice a day in secret
“But my sons with God’ sa full of life!” I wait and see it

HOOK 1 – DEKAY

But we loved you forever yes from the very start…
Won’t forget you no never you'll always be our star
As the pain nearly tears us apart…
No matter how much of the time has to pass...
You’re in our hearts
