Born To Serve

Born with his innocence

Nurtured only to serve

To serve as a mother's son

Childhood denied

Had to become a man while still only a child

Education taken away made to work instead

Sun up to sun down

Money earned money spent

Not in his name or by his choice

Change left in his pocket

Saved to no end one day to buy his dream

A simple dream earned

Dreams not allowed here

Born to be his mother's son

His mother's slave

The abuse mistaken, mistaken for love

Deeply scarred, but not for life

[chorus]

A true-life champion he made it through

Brought into this life and was taught to fail

Where others failed he never quit

Mistakes were made along the way

My father's son I'll always be
