Across the world, it happens again and again
A child wakes up, unable to eat
Goes out to beg or to work
No time to play
The sun has left marks across his skin
And the asphalt has destroyed his tiny feet
His school is the street
His day, never-ending
He's scared of the punishment he'll receive
There's a cuota to meet
Luck isn't his friend
Crying, he asks:
Chorus
Why? Is this happening to me?
Why? Do I have to live like this?
Why? Does nobody care?
About how I'm suffering
Why? Don't they want to look at me?
Why? Do they keep ignoring me?
Why? Does nobody care?
If I live or die
If I live, if I die
If I live, if I die
As years pass, he learned to steal
And drugs became his escape from reality
Searching for a family, he joined a gang
His innocence has turned to malice
His soul is hardened and resentful
Society judges him and he blames them
This story is repeated over and over again
So many children like him
Crying, will ask
Without ever finding an answer
Chorus (x2)
All the selfishness consuming him
Respect is replaced by alienation
His conscience screams, he violates rights
To survive, without money
If I live, if I die
Why Why Why
