I visit once every other summer
And thats if I'm lucky
I talk to them three times a year
Thats if I'm lucky
I don't see or hear
From the ones closest to me
Just my mother,father and sister too
Rest of my family
Far away in another country
During holidays its just the four of us
When everyone whines
About going away
TO grandmas house
I sit there in envy
I wish thats were i could be
Have a big and traditional
Christmas for once
For not that i can remember
Has that happened
Or a thanksgiving
With actually have thanks for something
Now i know others don't have a family at all
And for that your the strongest people
The world can meet
For without my family at all
I would fee surely beat
SO far away
And hardly a word spoken
Just once if i can sit in my grandmas house
And help bake a cake
Or in my aunts house
Run through the fields
In my mothers mothers house
I walk through the city all day
I wish thats were i could stay
For here we are alone
And still i don't see my daddy to often
He's working to keep me happy
My mother works to
As i babysit my sister
Of who i see the most
But no one understands really how i feel
Its not like i can drive a car
To where they all live
For 11 hours on a plane
And thats without delay
I sit and pray for them each day
Hoping there OK
For i wouldn't know
Unless my parents told me so
Its not easy
TO night see or hear
From the very ones closest to me
