A Reason To Live
There were moments in life
When my fate lied at the edge of a knife
I was afraid to live again
Life brought nothing but pain
when I could shed a tear
for others to cheer
the more I cry
the higher their feelings float in the sky
I was a small boy
Any farmer would want to deploy
forced to work in estate under strict rules
that denied me a chance to talk of schools
But just when I couldn’t withstand
you came along and told me to stand
you sung me a song
that made me so strong
you shown me the path to knowledge
that has further led me to college
now I have a chance for once in my life I will dance I can smile for a day
and ask God for more time to stay
for I now have A REASON TO LIVE
(Dedicated to those parents who have adopted a street child)
