Olivia

(Verse 1)

A little girl, you cried.

Your mother didn't treat you right.

You ran away, so afraid.

She didn't want you.

Her words still haunt you.

*(Chorus)

But, don't give up, Olivia!

Your life's been hard.

You've known the pain of many hearts.

Don't give up, Olivia!

Your life's been hard.

But you may yet, get a new start.

(Verse 2)

Put in a home, a new life.

But instead of love, you only found more strife.

You ran away again, again afraid.

Now on your own, you feel so alone.

*(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

Hope seems gone, your freedom lost.

Working to support yourself, school is the cost.

Learning was your only love.

Then stealing for your needs, all they can see

is your delinquency!

They say, “You gave up Olivia!”

They say you chose wrong,

you had your agency all along,

because this is the land of the free,

there's meritocracy,

be anything you want to be!

But I say…

What about Olivia?!

Where was the love she needed

to give her a good start?

Don't give up, on Olivia!

Her life's been so hard

Please give her, a new start.

Olivia, Olivia,

Don’t give up, Olivia!
