First Grade

Every morning I wake up and look out my window
To witness the break of day
I breathe a heavy sigh to myself 'cause I know what's coming my way
Another day to add up onto my pile of sorrows, frustration and pain
But I guess that all I can do is sit back and call it another day

Another day of first grade
Another day where I'm faced with hard times
In first grade
When I can't remember times tables and nursery rhymes
In first grade
With the pressure of my peers
To chew some gum behind the teacher's back
In first grade
When I have to carry a ten kilogram backpack

Mother packed me some lunch but I'm longing to go out and play
I'm not sure who to sit next to
I mean I like these two friends the same
They wanna go out and play some downball
But I don't really like downball
It's hard when every day is the same, when every day is the same

When every day is the same in first grade
Another day where I'm faced with hard times
In first grade
If I forgot to bring my hat
Then well I'll just have to play inside
In first grade
I feel like my teacher's judging me because my grammar is bad
In first grade
When I can't read my report without showing it to Mom and Dad

Catching the bus home
Waiting like twenty minutes
Nothing that I can do
Never have I felt so alone

In first grade
Where I'm faced with hard times
In first grade
I don't know how long till class ends because I can't tell the time
In first grade
Where I'm sitting through the day in a uniform that's way too big
In first grade
Getting lost in a dream where I can fly away in a rocket ship

In first grade
Where I'm faced with hard times
In first grade
When I can't remember times tables and nursery rhymes
