I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To wake up in the morning happy.
To be able to look forward to the day.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To go to school every day and have people who are happy to see you.
To be able to talk with the person who sits next to you.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To sit with your friends at lunch.
To be able to joke with them, to laugh with them.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To go home, and have your family greet you with smiles.
For your family to tell you they love you.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To sit down to a meal and having a family conversation.
To tell everyone what you did that day
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To plan my outfit of name brand clothes.
To know that I will look good in them.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To have someone who loves you.
To have someone to hold you, to kiss you.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
To be able to lay in bed and look forward to tomorrow.
To be able to to bed without crying yourself asleep.
I don’t know what it’s like,
Do you?
