Mom, I fear the world outside

It seems to be cruel and unkind

Am I ready to face it?

I smile and try to brace it

I tell him the world outside is wide

You can hold your head high in pride

It doesn’t matter whether you are in tatters or in suit and tie

Your will and faith will take you places, you can reach for the sky.
