Little Brown Paper Bag
Little brown paper bag,
how they put everything in you
Little brown paper bag
how they dragged you through the mud.
You were wet all over.
Little brown paper bag,
how did you feel when the kids poked holes all through you?
Little brown paper bag,
How did you get yourself together after it rained outside?
When the thunder and lightning flipped you all over the earth
Little brown paper bag,
how did you stay alive after the cars on the road drove over you?
Little brown,
how did you manage to stay alive at all?
When the cruel world cares nothing about you.
you were torn and ripped.
Burned with scars that can never be fixed
Scars that you never wanted for or needed to exist.
Little brown paper bag,
How'd you manage do it?
