A shoe flies through the air

A shoe flies through the air over something insignificant,
a child's cry fills the air.
He doesn't understand why his father treats him so badly,
perhaps he carries wounds that never heal.

Verse 2
Every obstacle, every unexpected event at school,
he learns to hide, afraid of the pain.
He hides his tears under a smile,
because he knows that tenderness doesn't find its way home.

Verse 3
That school is no longer a refuge,
where a child can breathe;
it is also a battlefield,
where learning hurts more than studying.

Verse 4
The strongest seek prey,
the weakest silence their voices;
every insult leaves scars,
that no one sees or understands.

Chorus
Those who can't stand this cruel game,
those who can't stand the pain anymore,
begin to believe that there is no way out
and dramatically disappear from the stage.

Ending
And while everyone looks the other way,
he learns to survive, not play.
He grows up too fast,
in his little world he can only dream.

Chorus (x2)
A shoe flies over something insignificant,
a child's cry fills the air.
He doesn't understand why his father treats him so badly,
maybe he carries wounds that he could never heal.
