You dont know

You dont know what its like at home
for the girl with the ratty clothes.
You dont know that at five years old
she was made to sit on the stove.

You dont know what its like at home
for the boy who cant afford food,
You dont know that when at home
his mothers too high to move.

You dont know that the girl likes frogs
cause they were her only friend.
In times of sadness and of pain
she would only talk to them.

You dont know that the boy has,
 a little brother at home.
and that when they can get some food,
he gives his brother his own.

You dont know about any of this
and you dont care to ask.
But you dont know that this boy and girl
us all they have surpassed.
