I was walkin down the hallway
Headed straight for class
I didn’t even see him
Cause I was movin way to fast

He sat down beside me
Just like he did each day
Casually ignoring him
I pushed it all away

He wore the same tshirt every single day
Ripped up and torn with his hair in disarray
He didn’t have a mama and his daddy had no pay
I wondered where he slept at night and if he’d be ok

Chorus:
I guess I saw him, but I didn’t want to see
That the boy who sat beside me was as scared as he could be
And I just don’t understand why he had to live that way
As a boy without a chance, who didn’t have a say

As I laid down in my bed that night
I couldn’t get him off my mind
Was he awake somewhere wishing for a home
Or was he begging for a dime

Was he cold, Was he hungry
Did He thirst for something more
Had he ever known a time
Where he had all he could wish for



Could he pretend for a moment
That his life was just like mine
Could he imagine a day free from worry and pain
Or did it hurt too much to try


Chorus:
I guess I saw him, But I didn’t want to see
That the boy who sat beside me
Was as scared as he could be
And I just don’t understand why he had to live that way
As a boy without a chance, who didn’t have a say


Bridge:
Why do we walk away?
Why do we just deny?
Pretending like we just don’t see the truth
Why don’t we open up our eyes?

Chorus:
I guess I saw him, But I didn’t want to see
That the boy who sat beside me
He was as scared and he could be
And I just don’t understand why he had to live that way
As a boy without a chance, who didn’t have a say

And I just don’t understand why he has to live this way
He’s just a boy without a chance, who doesn’t have a say….
