Happy Birthday... Steve D-Sharp Dave n' Piper

Satt i bilen med fyra ungdomar på väg till sportlovsläger häromkvällen. Frågade dem om de kände till en rapplåt som heter Happy Birthday. "Javisst, den känner vi till", svarade högstadietjejerna. "Vad handlar den om?" frågade jag. "Jo, den handlar om en pappa som förlorat sitt barn..." Texten är en låt av Flipsyde som ofta hörs i etern; "Happy birthday" heter den och handlar om en pappas sorg över ett aborterat barn. Det är en stark text.
Själva texten kände tjejerna inte till. Laddas ned som ringsignal på moblen. Det beror på att det korta avsnitt som oftast hörs är den korta jingeln i refrängen: Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been Happy birthday... Den säljs också som mobil mp3 och är kanske en av de mest kända låtarna just nu.
Varje år har vi 30.000 aborter i Sverige. Ute i etern är föremålet för en känd rappjingle ett aborterat foster. Men tonårslyssnarna vet tydligen inte riktigt vad låten handlar om, annat än att det är en pappa som förlorat sitt barn... Man kan höra den på SvTs Trackslista 30 sek Videoklipp och jingle mp3
Reklamen för låten: Flipsyde blandar rap och rock på ett härligt sätt. Snabbtungad rap, rockgitarrer och hejarklacksrefränger, allt i en härlig mix. Piper, Steve, Dave och D-Sharp har gjort en superskiva med "We the People" och på den finns hitten "Happy Birthday".

Detta är texten:
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life?
Would you have been a little genius in love with math?
Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper?
Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose?
And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow?
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...
Chorus:
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake!
I've got a millon excuses to why you died
Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide
Who's to say it woulda worked, and who's to say it wouldn't have?
I was young and strugglin' but old enough to be your dad
The fear of being a father has never disappeared
Pondering frequently while I'm zippin' on my beer
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
So when it came time to create I made a mistake
Now you've got a little brother maybe he's really you?
Maybe you really forgave us knowin' we was confused?
Maybe everytime that he smiles it's you proudly knowin' that your father's doin' the right thing now?
I never tell a woman what to do with her body
But if she don't love children then we can't party
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (yeah, make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake!
And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...
From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake...!

Den svenska kristenheten har ett gemensamt böneansvar i frågan som belyses av Happy Birthday. Det handlar om liv och död. Det finns mycket av nåd som behövs för många... Må vi kunna få inkarnera evangelium för livet...
