Cornelia

So hard to see from the moment we arrive

Cornelia, you are one who will survive

When times been bad, you put smiles on everyone

I think of you and of all I should have done

It don't mean a thing what shape or form that you're in

The place you're from, your wealth, or the color of your skin

When all you have burns to the sky, it's all too late

And you wonder why, Cornelia

Your every day is a struggle and a strive

But don't you agree with beating hearts, we're still alive

There comes a time when all you have is who you love

And Cornelia, you'll be all I'm thinkin' of

It don't mean a thing what shape or form that you're in

The place you're from, your wealth, or the color of your skin

When all you have burns to the sky, it's all too late

And you wonder why, Cornelia
