In My Little Town…
Everyone knows your name
They know you’re not all the same
They like you because you’re different
you’re something and someone who brings change to their lives
Everyone has a cause
Sometimes you’re their cause
Everyone always needs to know what’s going on
Especially when it doesn’t concern them
Sometimes they want to lend a helping hand
Sometimes they want to know how they can avoid you
Some of them are genuinely kind
Others can’t wait for you to walk away so the can gossip about you
Some won’t even wait until you’re far enough away so you can’t hear them
Some just don’t care and really just want to hurt you
In My Little Town…
There’s no on streetparking
There’s no using plastic bags or styrofoam
There is no serving veal
There is no trans fat
There’s no buying cigarettes until you’re 19
Even though you can vote at 18
At least you know now,
that you’ll probably outlive all of your fiends
In My Little Town…
They teach you not to bully
They teach you to defend yourself
They teach you to help out others
They teach you to aid in disaster
They teach you to grow up
In My Little Town…
Some people come from money
Some people never have money
Some people work hard for their money
Some never have to work for their money
Some people take money for granted
In My Little Town…
There are so many people chasing a dream
A dream of a happy place
Where their children can
learn without fear
sleep without fear
live without fear
In My Little Town…
There’s always hope
Hope for today
Hope for tomorrow
Hope for the future
In My Little Town…
I feel safe
