This child refugee from South Sudan says she wants to be a
nurse when she grows up. Still keeping the faith even in exile.

There's some pretty girl but homeless

Say she wanna be a nurse when she grow up.

Shaken but already thinking of healing the hopeless

Cause in the darkness real stars keep their head up.

Now ain't that some jewel you wanna look up or hook up

Or maybe root for to have a shot at life in days to come.

This wonderful light ain't gatto be this way

We gatto make a change strive to create a better day.

Journey with 'em thro their misery be the emissary

Of luxury it's not chemistry it’s necessary we make history

Come, give me your hand. Help her stand. Be the man.

We can turn her plan to something grand. Yes we can.
