With my eyes fixed on the horizon
Looking for the hope non existent
I cried and called my leaders
But none heeded
I want to be in school
To learn, to love and to be loved
Do I have a future?
Is it a crime to be a Nigeria child?
What wrong did I do?
Am I cursed?
I want to have toys
And play with the boys
And shy away from the girls
I want to have the basics of life!
I want to have a life
A life...
Life...
