Analysis of The lonely child
The lonely child 2007 (Lagos)
The lonely child
A girl patiently waiting for her mom
She had no idea that she was gone
The little girl sat down to count the stars
She looked at the bright light in the sky
She woke up to find out her mother was dead
She broke down and cried to herself
Her mates bullied her calling her motherless
The little girl was totally helpless
The poor girl cried day and night
The little child was in fright
Thinking about her mother's death
she was overcome with fear
Sitting in the rain
Downcast and in pain
The lonely child long for the happy days
The sunshine warm and forever lasting praise
The world of a lonely child is a world of pain greater than any
The lonely child whose vein are collapsing endlessly
