Sometimes we look at third world countries and try to help children there, but we cannot see the poverty in our own town/city. For a third world child, poverty is something he/she is seeing around. For a beggar child in the first world, he constantly sees

Lyrics

THE BEGGAR CHILD â_" Krisenka Finley


Iâ_TM A CHILD IN THE FIRST WORLD, SOME SAY Iâ_TM LUCKY
BUT THE FACT IS THAT I SEE MY LIFE UNHAPPY
I FEEL SHIPWRECKED IN THE SEA

PRETTY YOUNG GIRLS WHO GO TO SCHOOL DONâ_TT REALIZE MY PRESENCE
Iâ_TM HIDDEN RIGHT BEHIND THE WALL, SO MANY FENCES
KEEP ME AWAY FROM THEM ALL

Iâ_TM 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 DONâ_TT BOTHER
IF I EVER LIVE OR DIE

I SEE THEY QUICKEN UP THEIR PACE, THEY DONâ_TT LIKE FEELING GUILTY
I DONâ_TT MATCH THEIR PERFECT WORLD, Iâ_TM POOR AND FILTHY
BUT Iâ_TM THE VOICE OF THE UNHEARD

Iâ_TM A BEGGAR CHILD, I LIVE ON YOUR PHILANTHROPY
WEEPING BITTERLY
STRAY AND CAST AWAY BLACK SHEEP, FALLEN DEEP

SOLO

Iâ_TM A BEGGAR CHILD, I LIVE ON YOUR PHILANTHROPY
WEEPING BITTERLY
STRAY AND CAST AWAY BLACK SHEEP, FALLEN DEEP

Iâ_TM A BEGGAR CHILD, IN THE CITY OF THE LIGHTS
WEEPING BITTERLY
IN THE COUNTRY OF THE FREE, FALLEN DEEP

Iâ_TM A CHILD IN THE FIRST WORLD, SOME SAY Iâ_TM LUCKY
BUT Iâ_TM THE VOICE OF THE UNHEARD
