I am another orphan, the son of war
I am a product of genocide, my parents were killed
I am a wounded child, caught in the crossfire
I am the neglected one, left for natural disasters
I am a survivor of floods, my house was washed away
I am the hungry from drought, the water didn't come
I am the slave you hurt, took away from home
I am the refugee, who fled for his life
I am the scavenger, living on food stamps
I am the odd one out, not fitting in your society
I am the stranger, not from your community
I am the thieve you hate, just another steal
I am the one who accepted the bribe, trying to survive
I am the result of your system, supporting corruption
I am a law abiding citizen, just like everyone
I am the one who went to the streets, screamed so loud
I am that soldier you knew, refused the status quo
I am the fighter, who chose a pen over the gun
I am the oppressed one, lived under the cosh
I am the rebel, asked for others support
I am the one who lost, for not taking sides
I am a living confusion, lost in this place
I am who I am, because of this world
I am YOU, just look at me
