Analysis of I am a child alone
I am a child alone
I am a child this I know
That was pushed into this world alone
A hopeless world where I come to know
Where every child faces his fate alone
Roaming every street I know like a sheep without a shepherd alone
My future is at stake for me
Yet they want a great leader of me tomorrow
I the child that hovers around like the cloud
Becomes an adult at my age to survive
I am a child
Yet they don't care about
The future generation in me
Must I face these norms alone?
Can't our kind be catered for?
I am a child
That everyone knows
Yet everyone let me suffer alone
Everyone watch my kind die an avoidable death
I am a child
I cried to my leaders the last hope in me
Still crying if they will adopt me
For better tomorrow in me
