my family is poor
as poor as ashoeman
I want to go to the new years celebration
but am too poor
I wiggle and cry
every single night
thinking about the wealthy kids that get a chance to celebrate
it's time for our marks
we cover our face
one two three,
I can't take my pace
this is joy
joy I say
purple and blue
purple for the windows
blue for the rich
I am rich on the day
family let go I say
our first new year
so happy and sweet
let's all begin this year with an amazing world
