A SPUC supporter kindly sent me the video of "Small bump", a song by Ed Sheeran, a young British songwriter, which is currently in the UK charts. It's beautiful that a popular singer thought to sing about the unborn. I found it very moving, and it made me cry. Watch it and if you like it, maybe pass it on to others. I include the lyrics underneath the video below.
'Small Bump' Lyrics
You're just a small bump unborn in four months you're brought to life
You might be left with my hair but you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can
But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump in four months you brought to life
And I'll whisper quietly and give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
You're just a small bump, I know you'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin
Fingernails the size of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon open wide
A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes
And I'll hold you tightly and tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
Then you can lie with me, with your tiny feet
When you're half asleep I'll leave you be
Right in front of me, for a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe
'Cos you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
'Cos you were just a small bump unborn for four months, then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.
