Would you understand the feeling?

When a child peeks out the window
Looking for the father that never came home

When the only toys he can have
Are the refuse of the riches

When the only pocket money
Is the 50cent tip from the bar

When the only dreams he has
Are of his father teaching him the bike

When the only lessons he learn
Are taught by life and time

When the only friends he have
Are his mother and younger sister

When the only happiness he finds
Is in the eyes of his beautiful friend

When the only reason he fights
Is lost somewhere in the darkness

When the only life he will live
Is one of chasing escaping shadows
