I'm tired of surviving I just wanna live.
I want to live to see kites flying in the sky on a sunset beach.
I want to explore the ocean, swim with turtles in coral and reefs,
I want to go to concert and discover a true loves kiss,
I want to see butterflies, find someone to miss,
but I live in a small trailer the size of a box,
with my child beside me hoping for opportunities to knock,
I wish on bright stars that we can make it out,
but how long do I wait for someone to hear me shout.
I cry and I plead for something to change,
there's a hole in my heart and everyday is the same.
No car to explore the world with my buddy,
imagination so big, he's always getting muddy.
is it true what they said, did I fuck up my life?
there's no more ring on my finger, though I was supposed to be a wife.
Where is my family, why did they leave me behind,
I tried my hardest to be nice, kind.
I'm failing at life trying to create one for him,
pure innocence inside, helping his magic begin.
there's chains on my back weighing me down,
I'm trying my best but I'm beginning to drown.
