Rachel Holt, a young artist with deep American and Christian values, channels her beliefs into her music, offering a counter-narrative to the predominant pro-abortion messages prevalent in today's media. The song, written from the perspective of an unborn baby, delivers a powerful emotional punch.
The lyrics of "I Was Gonna Be" are hauntingly beautiful and convey the message of a life that never had the chance to flourish. Holt sings:
Some don’t believe I’m a living soul
Just a bad mistake that needs to go
If my mama coulda just seen my face
Maybe she woulda had me anyway
