Sometimes she wonders why there's noone here to see her achieve
Maybe it’s because she was the only one to remain positive that better days would arrive
For this she did believe. Not today but maybe tomorrow.
Often told to walk away
Best step back friends would say
Never acknowledging a homeless girl they walk past, thinking, maybe tomorrow
The solitary shadow that they didn’t see
The young person who spiralled down a hole
Who had dreams kept on pause remaining still
Bullied, shamed and teased at school, do you help her? Maybe tomorrow
Many are ignored because they're appear different or quiet
How dare you judge, question and walk away
I feel your eyes stare, head down as you shuffle away
What’s wrong don’t know what to say? A hello would be nice. Open your eyes and see, maybe tomorrow
As for the girl that grew up all alone and misunderstood
Maybe she’s been homeless, sectioned and remanded, left dreaming, maybe tomorrow
She's been out in the cold, alone with nothing. Wrong choices made in this maze called life
Pressured and unable to comprehend when will this torment end, maybe tomorrow she dreamed each night, maybe tomorrow
