I saw a little boy
running across the street,
He had a satchel on his back,
but no shoes on his feet.

Don't know what struck me,
I ran from the window to the balcony,
To get a better view of the child.

I felt a strange pang in my heart
to see him run past the shanties.
My eyes followed him till he entered one of the houses
with brick walls and thacthed roof.
Yes, he's one those million children
who still dream of school.

Do you believe in angels?
Well, now, I do...
Yet it makes me wonder,
Doesn't He deserve a good life too?
