Upon the ground my eyes do gaze

For I believe if I look at no one

I will not be seen

 

To not be seen is all I ask

Within the slum I do not want part

Everyday I see hatred and scorn

Every day I see pain

 

I try to do my best it imagine good

Though the best is not always enough

What goes on in the world at times

Is too horrible to imagine

 

Al I walk I look down

Upon the ground my eyes do gaze

For if I look up people will see

The pain of which life has filled them
