More Than a Glance
More Than A Glance
How is my worth defined,
The wealthy facade I designed?
The money and clothes,
The people I know,
Why not for the strength of my mind?
Do you know where I reside?
Places criminals won't even hide,
Wrong side of the tracks
Where most turn their backs
No safer when you go inside...
Do you know how I get by?
Doing things that make me wanna cry
Will I be okay
If you show me the way?
Since you believe I can change, I will try...
One teacher, one student, one chance
Your belief set my soul free to dance!
I see knowledge galore
The whole world to explore,
Because to you, I was worth more than a GLANCE...
