Hope

A puzzled boy concludes As he looks at himself His warn skin is blistered From picking up the scraps From the ticks in his hands To the scars on his feet His simple needs are few And he'd do anything Oh little puzzled boy be brave Cause little sister's lungs burn and ache Her tears overcome her smile It's hard to sleep at night Can he ever save her life? Maybe if he works hard enough Believe it or not there's hope Believe it or not there's hope Based on the truth ignorance is no excuse There is hope The little pride he has He tries to set apart No don't mention hunger Cause it breaks mother's heart Don't move little sister No don't say a word Her breathes becomes shorter It aches and it burns Oh little puzzled boy be strong Tonight's another night gone wrong As she fights for her life She finally falls asleep He says a secret prayer
