I am a child of the world,
From a woman of the world,
I live for my own future, not yours.

I can’t be crying everyday
Neither can I be distracted emotionally.
I am a child, yes I know.

But no one has the right to control me within my rights.
I am a child yes I know
But I have my rights

I am a child of the world,
You cannot tell me you know my pain
Yet you have never experienced it.

My crying sounds like a love song in your ears.
It is a lullaby when I need help.
I am a child, yes I know.

I thought my crying would be an alarm
Ringing, calling out for help
I am a child, yes I know
But I’m tired.

I am a child of the world
And I have the right to say
Abuse should stop

I raise my voice, hurt and tired
Shouting, shouting and shouting
Enough is enough
I am a child yes I know

And we are children yes we know
I am a child of the world
