Lyrics
Little Child: LYRICS Keith Michael Field - KMF Music
Verse 1
There's a little child in the city ...Taking his time feel no pain ...Take it away
There's another side of the city ...Nobody knows them
Nobody cares ...Take it away ...All right
Verse B
How would you know? Why should you care?
God doesn't seem to be hearing my prayer
Out on the streets begging for love
I want to be someone ...I want to be someone.
Chorus
How long does it take to find ...Some place we can call our own
it really doesn't matter ...I already know
America will be my home
Verse 2
Politics are raping the city ...Stealing the funds ...Taking it all ...Nobody cared
There're so many lights in the city ...Burning a fire ...Keeping it warm
They didn't know ...All right
Verse B
Tear down the wall ...Punish the right
Illegal immigrants ...Giving them rights
I Fought in the war ...Stood for the flag
I want to be someone ...I want to be someone
Chorus
How long does it take to find ...Some place we can call our own
It really doesn't matter ...I already know
America will be my home
Verse 3
There's a little girl in the city ...Walking the streets ...Feel no pain ...Take it away
See the little School in the city ...Bringing her hope
Don't take it away ...She didn't know
Verse B
How would you know? Why should you care?
God doesn't seem to be hearing my prayer
Out on the streets begging for love
I want to be someone ...I want to be someone.
Chorus
How long does it take to find ...Some place we can call our own
It really doesn't matter ...I already know
America will be my home
