I asked to speak to a young lady that I knew
I heard her mother graduated out of Harvard and because she was the smartest in her class went to Peru
I came expecting boasting but I didn't have a clue
That she was hurting with the current absence of her mother
She's not the type to take problems and share them with another
She'd rather bare them alone, a solitary weight on her shoulders
Which leads to what I told her
I said with much haste, I care not for her issues
For your tears, for your peers that yell and scream that they miss you
I do care however that your attitude has been humbled
Now I can relate, now we can share the struggle
