Her father told them "I won’t have a work next week"
This week we’ll going to finished our project
So the wage I’ll get, your mother will going to keep it
And my children you must learn how to budget.
Her allowance is never been enough
She can’t even buy her school supplies
How much more her personal stuff
If she tells about her life story you can say its all lies
Because inside the classroom she’s so lively
When she’s around her friends she always looks so happy
When she dressed up you can mistook her as wealthy
But not anymore when she’s on her way home
She will think about their problem and think to solve it on her own
When she got home and was so hungry
There’s nothing to eat but rice porridge only
While thinking about her fare for the next school day
Asking herself "how can I reach my goals in life if I quit my study?"
She go to school leaving all her worries behind
All the problems she can’t solved she took it away on her mind
She just do study well and have fun with her friends at school
She thinks nobody knows but she can’t fool them all
She goes home and found her mother look so worried and sad
She asked what the matter is, trying to make her feel glad
Her mother said that her little brother is sick
Yet they don’t have money to buy medicine even just aspilet
They suffers hardships that she can’t believed they’d survived
She tried to count it and she can’t believed she’s still alive
Her only weapon on every fight is prayer
She trust God and she just think all her brother and sister.
