Listen Mommy's got some trouble
She's feeling lonely
Listen Daddy's been mean
And no one helped her
She can't help but doing it again
She's trying, but she can't help it
Only one sip, an other sip
Only one sip, a single sip
Listen Mommy had an issue
No one helped her with her toddler
She knows she ain't doing the right thing with you
But she's feeling helpless
Listen Mommy's drinking again
They think she can't take care of you anymore
You're gonna live with many other children
Will they understand your difference ?
Only one sip, an other sip
Only one sip, a single sip
It's called foetal alcohol spectrum disorder
You have a foetal alcohol spectrum disorder
You can't see your mother
You're missing your mother
You say they're mean
They're not like you
You're not going to school with them
You're learning differently
Years are passing but things don't change
You're twelve and you can't read
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
Those are the only numbers you know
You can write your name with capital letters
The other letters are mixed up in your mind
Everything is so mixed up in your mind
Now you share some classes with children your age
You compare yourself, they don't get you
Sometimes you don't understand each other
But you don't care cause you're back home
You're back home
Mom is taking care of you
But you see she's got a new boyfriend
You're scared, you tell me"he's drinking"
You're scared cause he's changing your mom
All the progress you made at school
Are being held by this situation
You're tired and confused
"Teacher where should I go ? Do I have a class with you ? Hey you, let me pass ! I have to go ! Can my mom come to the show ? Can my dad come too ? Where is the cab ? Is it time to go home ? Is it break yet ? He's being mean to me ! I have a headache, I don't feel well"
I know you're confused
But I can tell you what I see
I see you almost every day
And you're doing great, your progress is huge
It's true your brain is working differently
But you're strong and you know what you want
You can believe in yourself, you're doing your best
And you're making so much progress
