They Call Me Baby Here
I am just new here
Everything looks strange
Even the language unfamiliar
I can't even keep my steps
I have been in dark world
It had been years I guess
Not sure arithmetic not yet gained
All I know it had been long
I don't really understand
I received a heavy pat on my back
At my very arrival I don't know what for
I guess an welcoming gesture
When i was crying
Everybody was laughing
I can't comprehend though
What was funny about my pain?
She put me in her arms
It was so warm
She gave me food
It was so delicious
Others are coming to see me
With excitement on their faces
They seems to be showering gifts
I don't know what is big deal about me
I don't like some gazes though
I am so afraid of them
In their arms not feeling safe
Am I just being naive?
But her she is the only person
I can truly trust
She gives me food she keeps me warm
It is rare to cry in her arms
