If you see that I struggle
because I'm a child,
don't pity me.
See that I'm learning. See what I've learned.
If you see that the years show
in these tired eyes,
don't pity me.
See all my riches.
Know that I'm whole.
When my burden is heavy
or my journey too far,
don't pity me.
See that I'm strong.
See how I keep going on.
While battering storms winds
unsettle this life,
don't pity me.
See I'm still standing.
Know I'm stilll strong.
When the rain beats down
and tears turn to floods,
don't pity me.
Know tears won't kill me.
Know, too, I'll still find some sun.
If you know that I'm hungry
then give me some food.
If you know that I'm tired
then help me.
If you know that I'm friendless
then just be my friend.
but don't pity me.
Though struggles and sadness
will challenge a soul.
Pity's for the pitiful.
Don't pity me.
I am whole.
