I am the one who soaks up the trash the world leaves behind
I am the one to whom people come when they want to complain and whine
I am the one who bears others cares and never peace or joy find;
But nevertheless I am content- for I'm the sponge...what joy is mine!

I am the one who places others before myself
I am the one who's forced to settle for what's left
I am the one who is frequently the victim of emotional theft
But nevertheless I am happy- for I'm the sponge...what joy is mine!

I am the receiver of pain and giver of love
I am the soldier of God, ambassador from above
I am the one taught to ignore the world's slaps and shoves
But nevertheless I am joyous- for I'm the sponge...what joy is mine!
