I am curious and brave.
I wonder why
I hear crashes
I see the light
I am curious and brave.
I pretend I’m the king of the world
I feel excited
I touch success
I worry about my life
I cry about my granny
I am curios and brave
I understand my role in life.
I say I will be a great man
I dream about the future
I try to understand my parents
I hope that I will be successful
I am curious and brave.

NOT FAIR
It’s not fair
I’m hungry I’m thirsty
I need to be free
Free from the work
I can hear the playgrounds calling me!
Can I just play?
Can I be a kid?
Why do I have to work?
The railroad entangles me
It’s not fair
That I can’t be a kid
I’m only ten and you treat me like I’m twenty
It’s not fair
I want to go to school and learn
Not growing up fast
My life is
Not fair
