the young

The young girl

She left home

Just 15 years old

She wanted to see the world

She eloped with her boyfriend

The man from her same town

Went to the South

Leaving behind her single parent mother

She struggles to feed her children

Now they have wings they wanted to fly

She doesn't call home to say

She never comes home for Chinese New Year

Now her mother went public

Hoping to reach her daughter to come home

Leaving school as a dropout

What future she will face?

Life outside the home

It is a tough cookie to know

There is no bed of roses

The sacrifices are plenty to give
