lament for the Romani.
she's a girl with a sense of wanderlust
she seems so happy but she's just
a remnant of a far-off age
over the days her people change
gone from the roots of a wandering past
my, how it's seemed so fast
She watches quiet with dismay
the abuse that they get every day
her skies are filled with burning ash
as her people then are told they're trash
No one ever seems to see
Just how hard it is to be Romani.
