lyrics

Lody's Life #StopChildLabor by Paul Dobbe
Blaring sunlight opened their eyes
Is this the day, that all things will change
Or another day in this slum, this slum, this slum, this slum
You see, Lody she didn't, have a say, she had no other way
She had only one dream to dream

To run through the fields of grass
Play with my friends all day
Go visit my mother too
I would hug her and hug her
Maybe I could go to school
Maybe I would learn to read
Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I could be a kid
“Children Playing”
Another day with no end
Lody: Too much to do, I can't keep up
It keeps on coming, when will it stop?
Keep up, don't stop!
Lody, you see, she didn't have a choice
No voice, no choice, no voice, no choice

Up came the sun, another day
They walk the streets, nothing to eat
No shoes to shield their feet
There's so much to learn, so little time
What was their crime?
Set the children free.
“Children Playing”
Only if she could
Run through the fields of grass
Play with my friends all day
Go visit my father too
I'd hug him and hug him
Maybe I could go to school
And live the golden rule
If I could be, if I could be, if I could be a kid.
