Have you ever been like me?

And ran home, covered in tears?

My head racing, my mind crushed

by you, my biggest fear

Have you ever been like me?

And ran from a man with a knife?

who's furious, and seeks for blood

and also wants my life.

Have you ever been like me?

And have been forced to always run?

Because I stumbled upon a secret

and now I've lost my fun.

I'm lucky to survive each day

I'm hiding, frightened, from you.

I know you've never been like me, but

you still treat me like you do.

Have you ever been like me?

Spent one minute in my shoes?

Then please, tell me why

you treat me as you do.
