Who is this child
Who from his childhood is expelled
Bruised, abused,
Confused, misused
Sold or taken
Shaken, long forsaken
But still a child would dare to dream

He toils in soil
He feels the weapon's harsh recoil
Maimed, blamed,
Un-named, ashamed
Doped, uncloaked
Beaten un-provoked
But still a child would dare to dream
