Born in innocence
Born in innocence.
Family sin and shame is hurled upon thee
No hope or reserve in sight
Shadows of doubt and shame
Thrust into the world to survive
No hope or support
Met with embarrassment and failure
Looks of disgust and disgrace
No family to turn to
Only turned backs and sounds of silence
Fighting for a chance to live
Living turns to fighting for love
Love turns to regret and fear
Fear turn to hatred and anger
Anger turns to rage towards life and love
Shame comes back into play
Only to repeat the cycle
Born in innocence
Family sin and shame is hurled upon thee.
