I don't think anyone will disagree
But is this not the land of equality
The thing is and tell me you see
That I am getting better then the girl next to me
She is trying to gain weight that I am trying to lose
And she wear a pair of too small shoe
She is freezing to death while I pray for snow
And when it started to fall there is no where for her to go
She is the type of girl who tries to pray
But she doesn't any proof someone is listening
But she is loyal and kind and honest and brave
And is just getting by day by day
She know's life cheated her out of a life
But she know's it is better than the reaper knife
So she take the good and leaves the rest behind
Pain can't hold her down she doesn't have the time
If that is what she is now think what she would be
If she had the life that was given to me
Look around  think what you would see
We might finally live in a world of equality

A few misspells which are a little distracting, but the overall message is great! I'd just polish it up a little :)
