Song Description

Song provoking thought

Lyrics

Verse One
Have you ever stopped to think about?
What makes the world go round
You get up in the morning without a thought
Of who made your shoes or sewed your gown
Could it be without knowing that you have exploited the poor
For only pennies a day, I work from sunrise to night fall

Chorus
Just like you?? I was born with a dream
To enjoy my life, to live and be free
Oh, think of me, think of the poor


Verse Two
I was born in a small village on the top of the hill
In a house made of sticks and mud for the floor
Everyday I carry the water from the far away stream
But, I?m not looking for pity or sympathy
To have running water and a pillow for my head
To go to bed at night with my tummy knowing it?s been fed

Chorus
Just like you?? I was born with a dream
To enjoy my life, to live and be free
Think of me, please think of me, think of the poor

Verse Three
So many strangers climb up this hill just to see
How people like me make our living from tea
We put on a smile, and greet the people so well
But deep inside I am crying, I?m tired and feel ill

Chorus
Just like you?? I was born with a dream
To enjoy my life, to live and be free
Think of me, think of the poor
