I´m the one who choose

I grew up without a mother nor father
I lived in a orphanage until I reach my eight-teen years old
Then I´ve searched for a job which paid me a place to rent
I´ve worked at a supermarket until I finished with my studies
At the end of the night I was that worn out

I still remind how many tiimes I´ve said goodbye to everything
I couldn´t stand by my own and I felt the need to left it all behind
And *I remind also how I have said NO I won´t give up
I don´t have bleed all this time to now don´t make it worthwhile (x2)*

So I have kept on every morning going to the school
And working in the afternoons
I have never arrive to the end of month eating something else than noodles
But I kept the dream of don´t throwing my life away
And watching the news on TV, don´t let me said I feel bad
Look at those children starving, look at those people crying by a war
So many people living on the street and they don´t complain
Who am I to say something about my less money when they got nothing?

*Chorus

Now I´m thirty one years old and I have my own store
There´re two girls working at it to help me
Because otherwise it would swallow my life down
One work in the morning and the other in the afternoons
I work in the weekend, morning and afternoon
Ah… I don´t have said that the course I was learning I´ve finished it
Now I got the degree but no one wants me

*Chorus

So I keep on working at the store which got its bad and good days
But it have never filled me with wrong hopes
I also met a boy two or three weeks ago
And for the first time I´ve closed for one day the store

*Chorus (x2)
