They never understoodThey couldn't


They never understood They couldn't comprehend Why that child would take her life It all came to an end She sat by herself at lunch She didn't have a single friend Every night she'd cry herself to sleep People saw her as the wind Oh why, why are people so cruel? Oh why, why, why? When will people start treatin' others like they have a heart? Instead of judgin' others by what they wear And when will people see were all the same from the start We all want someone to call a friend What makes people think They're better than others? We all have have a heart That could shatter like glass And what do you know about their life? It just might take a friend To help them fight the sleepless night So will you be the one Who's gonna take a stand And do what you know is right? Oh when will they see? When will people start treatin' others like they have a heart? Instead of judgin' others by what they wear And when will people see were all the same from the start We all want someone to call a friend © 2012 Maleah Waynick All Rights Reserved.
