I HAVE A LIFE OF MY OWN:
©
1999 by Lydia Glider-Shelley
Verse 1:
People always want me to volunteer,
But when I need help, they’re never here…
Everyone wonders why I don’t have time to spare:
Everyone wonders, but they don’t really care.
Chorus:
“
I have a life of my own,” they say,
“
I want to go out and play!”
So I watch as they go by, and I don’t let them see me cry, Or tell
them how I struggle through each day… Verse 2:
No one told me to have a family,
Or live a life so close to poverty.
Sometimes it’s easy to choose not to choose at all…
Sometimes it’s easier to slow down and stall:
Bridge:
From the outside looking in, it’s easy to be so judgemental… To
you it seems like a sin, but really not as fundamental:
Nor is it black and white.
And
If you want to be a friend,
You can’t always take without giving:
‘
Cause every hand you lend
Could make the difference between living…
And giving up the fight!
(repeat chorus)
tag: I have a life of my own…
