Verse 1
********
If I am a child
do I have control
of my life or do others
decide when I do
or was I ready
today this is where?
|
Verse 2
********
It isn't that I want
to be a burden to any
just want to know
if anyone really cares
or wants me anywhere?
|
Verse 3
********
I'm really not bad at all
I don't take up much room
and I hardly eat as much
as a bird or any other pet,
it is just a hug maybe I need
to let me know I'm here.
|
Verse 4
********
I didn't mean to come
yet am I really here
or just another burden
to add to the many
already laid at your door?
|
Verse 5
********
When was where I belonged
do I have a home now lost
or is this the common life
of a child displaced without
a choice of where or when
I'm to be or ever belong?
|
Verse 6
********
Please whisper to me now
I'm tired and dirty and lonely
and I really need a hugging
even if you lie it will be okay
for you to say you love me,
I'll understand it if you do.
