That Kid
No light, no food, no shoes
But that kid smiles,
It's hot, no money, can't afford school
But that kid smiles,
On the street, I can count the bones on his body
But that kid smiles.
As he runs to play, as he looks at me, he smiles.
Kid, I will work hard, I will go to school
I will toil till I can come back home for you
And if I have to wake up at 5am to be my best
So I can come home to the motherland and help the rest
Know that when I remember your smile, it's all that matters
You are my motivation
and when the clock strikes 12,
I'm closer to my destination.
For you, for them, for us
Please never stop smiling.
