I wake up everyday happy and alive
Wondering what will drive me today
What will make me want to strive
In this wonderful life I see in my way
I think it's too early to wake up for school
When other people hardly wake up so tall
Then I think that I'm such a fool
Because some people don't get to wake up at all
School is so boring I wonder why we need it
Then there's a poor little kid that all he wanted
To be a famous artist or talented writer one day
But he doesn't have enough money to get started
Gosh I'm so tired when I finish my homework
While others just think about it with a smirk
Because he or she wants to learn something new one day
But their clothes are covered with dirt
I'm so hungry but there seems like nothing to eat
I say this when the refrigerator is full of meat
I bet the poor little kid would've had a wonderful time without the feel
Of wondering where he will get his next meal
I say my life is horrible
When my house is two stories tall
The kid probably lives with his mother
Who couldn't find shelter at all
Then I go to bed thinking about today
While the poor kid asks why is his life this way
I complain about the bed with its uncomfortable springs
While the little kid sleeps in a box when it's raining in Spring
Then one day I go walking then I see
A little kid who asks, "Can I have some money please?"
I look at him with thoughts of pity and sadness
I give him ten dollars asking how could people just walk away
This is madness
I feel happy that I helped that kid that day
But not enough to cover the sadness for the pain he displayed
I planned on giving him more money so his feeling wouldn't sore
Maybe one day he'll learn that two plus two is four
Just the thought of it is what drives me everyday
For the pain in the kid's eyes that displayed
He always will be inspiring to me,
Because it felt like he just helped me by knowing how lucky I am to be
