Back Then

There was time when we fight for food,
Just a bit of cracker and crumbs of biscuit,
As long we can taste the food though only a bit,
Neighbour boast the taste of chicken and shrimp,
While we just have a look and wanting some,
Mother pinched us, took us inside the house and close the door,
That night we dream of eating them.

Mother's heart is breaking seeing what we wanted to eat,
Though we cannot eat them at the moment,
We were just pleased the way it is,
We could wait, so don't cry anymore mother,
We really could wait no matter how long,
So let just eat whatever you're cooking,
Cause it was always the best food that we ever tasted.

Father just got paid and brought home chicken and fish,
At last we manage to eat chicken,
It does not matter if it were chopped into 24 pieces,
We still can eat it mother,
So don't you worry,
We might fight but that is just the way we are,
Your naughty daughters but yet you still adore us.

Though we don't have house,
It doesn't matter cause we still have this shelter,
Living in a government house is nothing as long as we're together,
We still live happily like anyone else,
So don't worry mother and father,
We still be able to survive it no matter what.

Years have passes by,
We can actually buy the cookies that we wanted so much,
Without fighting we eat it together,
We can eat the all the seafood that we envy for back in the old days,
Mother don't have to be sad anymore,
We will appreciate every moment of our life and cherish it.
