-All These Kids-A Poem by Emilie Renee BarnumAll these kids from all these broken homes, all these kids that are out there that feel so alone.
They`re people like you and I, they live and they die.
They look up to the sky, and everynight I hear the same cry.
Will I ever not be so angry? Will the sun ever come out for me to see? Will I ever be freed from this pain? Will this be something I learn to restrain?
Give me hope to live for, give me love something I haven`t had before. Give me a day that I want to be alive, give me one that isn`t hard to survive.
There`s a little boy down the street, with bloody hands and bloody feet.
His father hit him every day, until one night he left his house because he couldn`t stay.
Now he`s on the streets with no place to go, tell me this world isn`t sinking to a new low.
Now everynight he looks up to the sky, and everynight I hear the same cry.
Will I ever not be so angry? Will the sun ever come out for me to see? Will I ever be freed from this pain? Will this be something I learn to restrain?
Give me hope to live for, give me love something I haven`t had before. Give me a day that I want to be alive, give me one that isn`t hard to survive.
There`s a girl that thought she was in love, so she did something she`s no longer proud of.
She thought that boy was the one, now all she has to show for it is a two year old son.
She`s only sixteen years of age she never thought he`d walk away, that boy never planned to stay.
Now she`s doin` drugs, because it all went wrong there was no love.
Now everynight she looks up to the sky, and everynight I hear the same cry.
Will I ever not be so angry? Will the sun ever come out for me to see? Will I ever be freed from this pain? Will this be something I learn to restrain.
Give me hope to live for, give me love something I haven`t had before. Give me a day that I want to be alive, give me one that isn`t hard to survive.
All these kids from all these broken homes, all these kids that are out there that feel so alone.
They`re people like you and I, they live and they die.
They look up to the sky, and everynight I hear the same cry.
