When I was young - I’m talkin’ maybe five or six years old - we were living right next door to a family from Sudan,
And as I grew, the youngest of their children - named...

But they are coming in leaps and bounds.
Hearts being broken in two
And no one knows just what to do.

In this world of uncertainties
