Battles - Emily West
Joseph's really smart
He's good and he's got heart
His eyes are big
And his bones are thin
He never has new clothes
He works a job
He knows is killing him
Found out on a Sunday
That he's going to lose his home
Everyone's fighting
A battle of their own
Remy is a child
The teacher's say he's wise
They keep him
On a kind of medicine
Now he don't run around
His ears are
To the ground listening
He might have been Mozart
But they turned him into stone
Everyone is fighting
A battle of their own
Michael's full of doubt
The pout is coming out
His father
And his friends
Would be ashamed
He talks to God at night
If I ain't right
Why'd you make me into this way
He's been taught
To hate the only M he's ever known
Everyone is fighting a battle
Everyone is fighting a battle
Everyone is fighting a battle of their own
