why not me?

Take some time to stop now and breathe!
Close your eyes and let your mind and body scream,
letting go of the frustrations and memories that never cease!
Although I’m young I feel as though I’ve seen everything
And although I’m naive now I feel as though I know everything
I keep having these dreams of living in a place where the kids
see nothing but peace…nothing but peace…nothing but peace
Oh, how much I wish I could let that line just repeat…just repeat!
But instead those kids continue seeing misery living in the streets.

I sit and I think as I drink my cup of tea.
Are we the same? Do we live in the same world? Are we playing the same game?
I wear my Nikes and my Ralph Lauren while they seek for their breakfast in the rubbish bin.
Sure I’ve said this enough and I’ve been there to see their tragedy.
But still I have to ask, why not me?
