Little Pieces

Emily from Kensington, happily walks down the road Polished nails and brand new shoes, handbag made of crocodile, she's cool And no one can refuse She drops by the coffee shop, that delays her photoshoot She will be a movie star, try to leave some space, to leave some room, She's got a lot to loose Just let her dream about it as if she couldn't live without it Leave little pieces for the way back home Selly wakes up with the moon to leave her daughter in time for school Takes two buses and a train, to make it to the shop another day, She's never late Well known by her coffee making, after years her back is breaking She will put a honest smile for anyone who'd look her in the eye, And thank her for the cup Just let her take her chances, had little luck with great romances Take little pieces on your way back home From Uganda in Africa down to South America Way more than two naked hands, have been forced to leave their land of green To pick up coffee beans Nia goes back home at three, with water for the family Clay and straw burned down to tears, machines and soldiers paint the whole scene She sleeps under a tree No one can feel about it, as long as we can live without it Broken little pieces in our home Just let her cry about it, as long as we can live without it Broken little pieces in our home Broken little pieces in our home!
