Born To Pay

I only want a living wage
to make a life more kind
And make my way through life as best
as all of us can find

When every day we need a way
to be as you can earn
When all the time we pay for it
a victim has to learn

And every walk a wary path
for money to be tale
When all we lend to pride of it
our death must lead to fail

And rise above the others who
could never see the way
When only through our very sail
could life been born to pay
