STAND UP
Hot days,
Cold nights,
Always something to frighten me,
I did imagine that I would one day be free.
Are you going to stand there,
Like it's no big deal,
Or are you going to help us,
For us this is real.
In India this is normal,
It happens everyday,
We want our education,
but we will get beaten if we say.
We don't get very much money,
even though we deserve to,
We use it for our families
It's the most we can do.
They don't feed us much,
so that we stay small,
then we will never leave,
never growing tall.
Now I have told you my story,
What will you do,
It's all in your hands,
The choice is up to you.
