📜 LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
They tell me stories of the past, of battles fought and lost
A cycle spinning round and round, not caring for the cost
I see the pain in every face, the tears they try to hide
I'm just a child in this place, caught in the divide

[Pre-Chorus]
Kicked around, pushed around
Shouted at, shut out
We don't want you
Now, just get out!

[Chorus]
I'm just a little boy, I'm just a little girl
Don't know what I did to deserve this world
Trouble rains down, please go away
I just want to laugh and play
I don't know what I did wrong
Maybe when I grow up, I'll be the one you hate
Until that day, can't you just wait

[Verse 2]
They teach us who to love and hate, the lines drawn in the sand
But I just want to live in peace, to hold a friendly hand
The walls they build inside our minds, the stories that they tell
But deep inside I know there's more, a way to break the spell

[Pre-Chorus]
Kicked around, pushed around
Shouted at, shut out
We don't want you
Now, just get out!

[Chorus]
I'm just a little boy, I'm just a little girl
Don't know what I did to deserve this world
Trouble rains down, please go away
I just want to laugh and play
I don't know what I did wrong
Maybe when I grow up, I'll be the one you hate
Until that day, can't you just wait

[Bridge]
I dream of skies so clear and blue, where laughter fills the air
A world where children just like me can live without a care
The lessons of the past are gone, the future shining bright
We’ll break the chains, we’ll find a way, and step into the light

[Chorus]
I'm just a little boy, I'm just a little girl
Don't know what I did to deserve this world
Trouble rains down, please go away
I just want to laugh and play
I don't know what I did wrong
Maybe when I grow up, I'll be the one you hate
Until that day, can't you just wait

[Outro]
The teachings fade, the light will stay, a brighter day is near
We'll build a world of love and peace, a future free from fear
The rules of the old will dust, the hate will wash away
Together we will stand as one, and welcome a new day

[Outro - Repeat]
The teachings fade, the light will stay, a brighter day is near
We'll build a world of love and peace, a future free from fear
The rules of the old will dust, the hate will wash away
Together we will stand as one, and welcome a new day
