She watches out the window a sunny April day running rings around the roses wishing she could join their play But fate had left her twisted with wheels instead of legs a normal life she asks for to God at night she begs
Gabrielle dances in her dreams round and round across the floor amazed at just how real it seems
Too soon the sun comes rising to start another day she wipes away a tear and wonders why
Life has to be this way
He hasn't had a meal in days and no one seems to care no shoes no home no parents his life is so unfair
Behind a ghetto market he finds a crust of bread the dim New Dehli alley is where he lays his head
Rijani dances in his dreams without a worry in the world amazed at just how real it seems
Too soon the sun comes rising, to start another day he wipes away a tear and wonders why
Life has to be this way
There doesn't seem a reason that life can be so cruel can everyone live happily or am I just a fool
Oh there's no pain or poverty I hope with all my might we all can live the same dream that I see every night
The whole world dances in my dreams round and round without a care amazing just how real it seems
And if it all were up to me these dreams come true today we'd never cry a tear and wonder why
Life has to be this way
