Born to my fate without glory
brought to my knees every day
left defenceless with only shadows to hide in
…all I had true was my name
a name I have defended with honour
though I know not why this had to be
a name is just a name to be born with
it said nothing of the life born in me
a life that has grown and gained stature
though violence and wars played their part
to understanding things more important
than tearing this life apart…
I seek now only peace and contentment
to sleep without fear in the night
not to wonder each day of life's changes
and why fate still holds me so tight?
