Survive

When I was a kid
And we first immigrated
Reading was a need
It was a way i could help us survive

My family would give me the mail
To read over and explain what it means

I was alone to learn English
I tried to be better for my parents

My sister, she just reads to read
I'm proud that she reads for fun
When i was her age
Reading was a need
