I've Never (Part 1 of 3)

I've Never

I look at all of these people around me that expect so much
Who have always had, since they've remembered... a special chance...

Never in my life have I seen Santa come down my chimney
Or stockings on the fireplace
Never in my life have I had a real birthday
Where my dad sat through the hours with a smile on his face

Never, for 10 whole years
Have my mom and dad gone to the same church
Never, in these past few days
Did I feel my self-worth

I've never had a hundred dollars
To spend on a pair of jeans
I've never felt a guiltless moment
To finally come clean

I've never sat through an entire movie
With nobody around me
I've never remembered to pray every day
Before I go to sleep

I've never had a picnic
Without any sweets
Never in my life
Have I been trusted to cross the street

Never have I kept a diary
To write in for an entire year
Never have I had the will
To audify my silent tears
