just see how they sparkle like diamonds
i see the stars so high, so amazing
just see how we reach high for them

she sits there,
her mother with the bottle in the hand
the father with the drugs
Do they realize she is there or are they absent of her presence.

i feel that i don't belong in my community
i feel isolated and judged
i feel like they think i don't exist
just because i am committed to someone of another race
...

Do you see the way they stare at us?
Do you see the way they point? even
Do you see the way they talk like they think you aint listenin'?

he said he loved me,
that i was his baby girl.
he said we would be together,
for better or worst.

i have no more smiles
all the laughter has been taken out of me
i dont dance and sing like i used to

Only For A Day
What's this world coming to?
What have we done?
Poverty...
War...
Corruption...
Drugs...
Child trafficking...
Rape...
Prostitution...
Separation of families...
What happen to Peace?
Did we ever have any?
We are brothers and sisters,
yet this is how we repay each other....
Just for a day
Cant we have no poverty...
Or a war that shouldnt existed...
What about a corrupt government that feeds lies....
Or drugs that kill and poison our lives
Can children be set free...
And woman be unharmed...
Can women be free of prostitution...
And men be able to help their families...
Just for one day....
Can we have PEACE and COMPASSION
Or is that too hard to ask?
