One day while I was passing
I looked through the window and saw her crying
I stopped, stared and with my eyes asking why
Then she saw me and looked so shy
With tears flowing down my face
She asked me why did the lord put her in this place
Before I answered I stop thinking for a while
Then to her I said on your face should be a smile
You have food and shelter
And you sleep warm under a cover
As for me I sleep wherever night meets me
I can't even care for my safety
For food with animals and people I fight
And win or loose I could end up loosing my sight
Then she turned and said to me
For all that is only what I see
She said from since she was born
Her heart has been torn
Her ears crave to hear the words I love you
And to get one or two slap for nothing she has to do
From her dirty pampers she is very sore
And she shakes hearing the opening of the door
For she knows nothing good comes through
Her heart is meant to be sad and blue
For days and nights she keep on crying
And for away out she is only hoping and praying
But then I said to her
She should be getting lots of love from her mother
She just watch me and laughed
And said of her story that is the other half
For her mother only brought her into this world
And I interrupted her from getting her silver and gold
So she just gave me away
And not looking back she went on her merry way
Then I told her its all the same for me
For me my mother did not wanted to see
She rather my brother and sister more
So with nothing I was kicked out the door
I have been on these streets trying to survive
From all kind of weapons especially people with knives
I only thank God I'm still alive
But I am so sorry for you
There is not much I can say or do
I really thought your life was so much better
Is now I see we not much different from each other
We both are very much alone
Even if you are inside and I am sleeping on a stone
We both are craving to feel some love
For that we could only pray to the lord above
Its getting dark so now I have to go
Where I don't really know
But I wish you strength to go through
And that one day freedom and love would come to you
