The child from Perú is feeble and shy
He hangs back behind with a tear in his eye
His father is busy his mum doesn’t care
He trudges along with grease in his hair
The child from Peru just wants to be loved
To be nurtured and cared for and free like a dove
His village is barren, empty and torn
The elders look down on him with distaste and scorn
–
The child from Peru doesn’t know what he’s done
To be hated, dismissed and ignored by everyone
His only companion is his little dog Clyde
Who is loyal and supportive and stays by his side
–
The child from Perú was walking one day
Off of the path into the woods he did stray,
He encountered a fairy sat on top of a plant
and the fairy to him a wish she did grant
–
The child from Perú thought long and hard
For what he would wish for and lay down his card
He wished for his world to fade and to die
So he could live with the fairies right up in the sky.
