Other Side Of The Tracks

<span style=\'color:blue\'

One day I saw a girl on the other side of the tracks.

"What's it like?" she looked at me and asked.

"What's it like feeling loved?"

"What's it liked to be touched?"

"How many things are against the rules?"

"What's it like to be part of a carpool?"

"What's it like to be happy, not sad?"

"What's it like to have a caring mom and dad?"

"What's it like to have support?"

"What's it like to play any sport?"

"What's it like to feel safe in your home?"

"What's it like to not feel so alone?"

"What's it like to not walk on eggshells?"

"What's it like to have parents that know you so well?"

"What's it like to not feel like dirt?"

"What's it like to not buy your own shirt?"

"What's it like to enjoy company with your parents?"

"What's it like to not feel like you have to pay rent?"

"What's it like to have under your hood,

How to raise your kids so good?"

"What's it like to know your future?"

"What's it like to feel so much cuter?"

"What's it like to know what love is?"

"What's it like to know how to raise kids?"

"What's it like to live on the other side of the tracks,

Where everything doesn't feel like an act?"



I looked at her sadly, sighed, and said...

"All those same questions have floated through my head."

"I wish I could tell you, I wish I knew,

"But I'm afraid, I'm as lost as you."



"What's it like to live on the other side of the tracks,

Where things don't feel like an act?"
