I was abused
                                          ended up living                                                                But you came
                                       in a children’s home                                                              Why did you come
                                         When I came out                                                                 I pray to God one day I can forgive you
                                           I had to hustle                                                               But I am not ready
                                              a bit here                                                                 No, not ready
                                             a bit there
                                 I had to care for my daughter                                                           Now, I find joy where I can
                                              Blessings                                                                  I play with my daughter
                                         sweet Blessings
                                      she has cerebral palsy                                                             When I wear my sweater
                                           I have to take                                                                I am beautiful
                                         good care of her                                                                It doesn’t reveal what struggles
                                            I thank God                                                                  I have seen
                                             I have her                                                                  it is so blue, so much brighter than
                                     and I have my grandma                                                               my past
                                                                                                                         my past had no colours
                           I wrote a letter to my mum. I asked her                                                       And I know my future will be better
                                    why did you ruin my life?
                                  I was in the children’s home                                                           The clear blue
                                   Life was a little good to me                                                          It makes me believe
                                     and you came and said                                                               that all my dreams will
                                              this is my                                                                 come true
                                           missing child
                                        You took me away
                                 but you didn’t take care of me                                                          I wish I had my life complete
                                    You left me in the streets                                                           I wish my daughter could recover and
                                                                                                                         be like other kids
                                        Someone took me                                                                  I wish GOD could hear my prayers
                                     I got pregnant so young                                                             and answer them all
                                        and after one year
                                          my baby was ill                                                                I wish I could get a better job and
                                        she can do so little                                                                take good care of my family
                                                                                                                         I wish God could give
                                     If you hadn’t taken me                                                                 my grandmother eternal life
                                    from the children’s home                                                             I wish I had never been treated badly
                                  I would have learned things                                                               in my life
                          I would not have been pregnant so young                                                        I wish I could get the best daddy for
                                 I would have stayed in school                                                              my daughter Blessings
                                I would have been older before                                                           I wish I can pass through all challenges
                                         becoming a mum                                                                    in life but not fail and lastly I wish
                            so I could have taken good care of her                                                       all will be well in life.
