One pass demo on Nylon string. First take I added a number of jazz runs, but I felt it distracted. Second take I played it straight and I think the sparse arrangement helps deliver the message.

This is Jeff Kratzman's Christian Page. I have two categories one for Secular and one for Christian songs. I've had a lifelong relationship with Christ and not to explore the spiritual side in music, would be foolish. I hope you enjoy the songs and take the time to follow-up on some of the Bible verses that inspired the songs. I welcome all feedback, but unpleasantness will just be deleted. This isn't a forum for theological debate. If you don't want to listen to Christian Music, try the Jeff Kratzman - Songs link. There's another 50 songs there.

Story behind the song
40th anniversary of Rose vs Wade 410 US 113 - 1973. I haven't heard many good songs about the topic since Graham Parker's 1979 Squeezing Out a Spark. I thought a first person approach would be unique as long as it wasn't heavy handed. I tried to keep the first person perspective vague until the end. Keeping the cards close to the chest! It'll become much more obvious on the second listen. Psalm 139:14-18
Lyrics
1. You said that I don’t know the full story And I’m just looking at the final disposition But the end doesn’t justify the means It’s rarely right to do the wrong thing 2. I life full of promise and a moment full of grace To see the cold calculated strangers face Fractured us, For who wanted to be The life interrupted, that I’d like to continue to lead 3. Contributing factors and a life in decline How did we ever let things fall this far? A tragic potential left unresolved And a dark moment where regrets are born 4. Living life without a rear view mirror Truth is you’ve given up all hope Balance of perception with the sad truth It’s all about self since the day of your birth 5. Feel so self important, but I’m in the cut out bin of life Not even a shot, not even a choice It’s a woman’s body and her right to chose Seems like maybe I had the most to lose
