Be Careful

Be careful of  the girl dressed down 

because she doesn't believe she's worth a crown

Be careful of the girl with scars 

for she will do herself harm

Be careful of the girl with bruises on her neck and face, 

for she says it's from sports, but it's her father's belt and shoe lace

Be careful of the boy you laugh at in the locker room 

for his father has a gun, and he's going to use it soon

Be careful of the girl who limps, 

because her life is harder than your's

Be careful of the boy who's weird, 

because he'll soon own all your stores

Be careful of the words you say, 

for they bring life and death

Make sure that you always breathe 

a living breath

Hold your tongue unless you have 

something life giving to say

For it will be you, boy or girl 

receiving it one day
