A Prayer of the Afflicted
Hear my prayer dear lord
For life's too expensive
That i can't afford
I created prosperity
But i did not have any
I showed them love
But they hated me cruelly
I loved freedom
But i was not free
I had eyes
But i couldn't see
Remember my oppression
Remember my affliction
Control my heart
And help me tread a good path
Remember me oh God
Be my guide
Don't put me to shame
But make me a good fame
And a great name
So that at the end
My life will be a legend
