WHEN I WAS A CHILD
I USED TO THINK
WHY IS MY FATHER RUNNING FOR MONEY
WHY CANT HE ENJOY THE DAY SO SUNNY
WHERE WILL HE SPEND ALL THIS MONEY
WHEN I WAS A CHILD
I USED TO THINK
WHY MY MOTHER WAKES UNTILL I SLEEP
WHY CAN'T SHE SLEEP WHENEVER I WEEP
HAS SHE LOST ALL OF HER SLEEP
WHEN I WAS A CHILD
I USED TO THINK
WHY IS THIS WORLD ALWAYS HUSTLING
NO TIME TO ENJOY NOR FOR SLEEPING
WILL THEY ALWAYS KEEP ON HUSTLING
WHEN I GREW UP
I CAME TO KNOW
WHERE IN THE MORNING
MY FATHER USED TO GO
TO GIVE ME THE LIFE HE COULDN'T GET
WETHER SICK OR PAIN HE USED TO GO
