The man with no luck
He walks a fine line
Letting things slide
He treads shallow waters
The young woman ambitious
Climbing the ladder high
Losing all friends in sight
She treads shallow waters
See the boy with his car
This boy-racer thinks he’s cool
Mr streetwise acts like a fool
He treads on shallow waters
See the girl who looks like a Barbie
A lost childhood she has
Seeing her cover-up looking sad
She treads on shallow waters
A man egged on to take drugs
A girl harassed to smoke
A boy forced to drink
Others their once clean spirits broke
All these are pushed
Shoved into a life by society
No direction do they have
Only what others expect them to be
They all drown in shallow waters
