With tales of woe
You talk of "oh poor me"
The system's the foe.
Life's so unfair
And you're so blue
You never had a chance
What could you do?
You tried and tried
but what's the use
You're the result of injustice
And surely some abuse
Well let me tell you friend
What I've seen and heard
Every person's in charge
Of their own little world
You can lie to yourself
But don't waste it on me
You always have choices
As to how your life will be
You can be sad
And weak and alone
Or know in your heart
You're never alone
You can go on
With the life that you made
Or stand up and fight
Even though you're afraid
Gain my respect
Your self-esteem too
Just acknowledge the truth
You choose what you do
Say yes I'm down
And not very strong
With God's help I'll change
And it won't be long
Just stand up and say
I've started to pray
I'll be stronger tomorrow
I'm choosing the right way!
