I'm a child in the First World
Some say I'm lucky
But the fact is that I see my life unhappy
I feel shipwrecked in the sea
Pretty young girls who go to school
Don't realize my presence
I'm hidden right behind the wall
So many fences
Keep me away from them all
I'm a beggar child
I live on your philanthropy
Weeping bitterly
Stray and cast away black sheep
Fallen deep
People try to avoid my eyes
Some may be scared and others
They ignore my wailing cry
They just don't bother
If I ever live or die
I see they quicken up their pace
They don't like feeling guilty
I don't match their perfect world
I'm poor and filthy
But I'm the voice of the unheard
I'm a beggar child
I live on your philanthropy
Weeping bitterly
Stray and cast away black sheep
Fallen deep
I'm a beggar child
I live on your philanthropy
Weeping bitterly
Stray and cast away black sheep
Fallen deep
I'm a beggar child
In the city of lights
Weeping bitterly
In the country of the free
Fallen deep
I'm a child in the First World
Some say I'm lucky
But I'm the voice of the unheard
