Olivia Nimley - Eagle Wing

A little girl
In a small city
Walks to school
Without eating a meal

She sings her situation
In a quiet place
Sleeping on the floor
No money for text books

Poor parents she had
Lives in a small mud house
Families avoid them
Friends walk away

She eats mockery
In her school
Only one uniform
A burst pair of shoes

Eagle passing by
Hears her sorrowful song
Put her on his wings
And give her a place above
