Sometimes I stand there it seems like no one sees me,
Trying to express myself but nobody hears me,
When I want to speak I'm inaudible,
When I want to be seen I'm invisble
-----
Because I'm ignored I feel as cold as river banks stones,
This coldness makes me shiver to my bones,
Doubting my value makes me invisible,
I'm sitting in the dark wondering am I visible?
-----
What should I do to show I'm important?
Set off a fire or build a tent?
Even though I'm not considered as an important person,
I try to smile look up and smile at the bright yellow sun
-----
held up high in the sky faithful as always
In my heart where my family's love stays
