Why did the chicken cross the road?
I don't really care.
I know why my family crossed
I know why my mother risked her life and mine for
I know why she was consumed by fear day and night
Why I cried out for food or even to have my diaper changed
My mother, young, brave and full of fright
Not knowing if she would see the morning sun rise
Or if we would even survive the night

Why did the chicken cross the road?
I don't care, but
I know why my mother risked her life and mine for
My mother and father couldn't afford
A pair of shoes for their newborn

So why did the chicken cross the road?
I'm not sure, I bet it had
It easier than my family and I tho.
