Baby in a Box

Our Tweets

They found a tiny gorilla today
In a box like some thrown-away
And strong men with uniforms turned
To hide the tears as their hearts burned

[Chorus]
Who puts a baby in a box?
Between cargo, gates and locks
Even toughest hearts break down
When innocence is treated like a noun

Security guard drops his stern face
As tiny hands reach through that space
Customs officer calls his kid
To say 'I love you' while tears he hid

[Bridge]
Every parent in that room
Felt the weight of all that gloom
'Cause a baby's still a baby
Whether human or gorilla maybe

[Final Verse]
So they gathered 'round that crate
Some had to walk away, couldn't wait
Those who stayed just wiped their eyes
As nature's child softly cries

[Outro - Whispered]
Sleep now little one, you're safe
No more boxes, no more wait
Even airport halls tonight
Echo with humanity's plight
