A Shirt
did you know did you know
what i am? well i'm a shirt, a shirt
no? can't you tell? do you see what i am yet?
or shall i tell you more what i can do, what i am
I am the thing you put on each morning for work
or for play, or for school, and every time you go out
but you take me for granted, friend
not everyone has such an advantage
some don't have more than a cloth
to cover a small portion of their skin
sin marred by the hot sun and by dirt
the next time you put me on to play
remember what i have told you today
you may always have me you may not
but you can't take things for granted
because you have minor problems now
compared to those in other countries
please stop complaining about them all
