We are not born for ourselves alone
We are not born to grow old in a home
We are not born to watch others suffer
We are not born for inflicting pain on others
We are not born to sit by idle
We are not born to debate who's liable
We are not born to use scape goats
We are not born to grip another's throat
We are not born to steal the last penny
We are not born to wish away eternity
We are not born to dismiss by colour or creed
We are not born to be governed by greed
We are not born to kill
We are not be on to die because of a bill
We are not born to fight.
We are not born knowing those with money are right.
We are born to help our species
We are born to help release
We are born to get rid of the well worn,
Idea that there is a hierarchy
That we are subject to a malicious patriarchy
We are not born to spend our days
Worrying over when we'll get our pay
We have been shackled and confined
Imprisoned and made misaligned
There is no higher power guiding
No excuse for living and fearing
You hold the key to the prison of your design
We can cut out this tumour and redesign
We can make our own way
There's no reason to stay
So don't decay while you delay
Or go astray by waiting another day
Break free.
Don't flee
You have your leave.
For we are all destined for greatness.
