Come take a walk with me.

You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

* I9 C! t( |4 ^2 ?, S5 x+ dAre you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Those two songs go the same way, unlike our singers, foreign singers, however, are singing not only on romance,but on many serious topics like  politics and  enviroment.
