From the start of conception
He knew he was a champion
Like a lion in a mission
His ambition was no fiction
...
With interest I write
Alone in this cold night
Under my bulb's filthy light
Unsure if am writing it right
...
Stand strong and hold
Hold to the dreams of old
For you got to be bold
Not to shiver nor waver in the cold
...
I feel it in my brain
And I take care not to drain
Because I feel like a crane
Among my mates, I reign
...
The sun sets in the west
Time to rise for the day
It's time to work
The harsh reality lingers
...
I see her in my dreams
Reigning from the start to the end
With the love that she accords
I cannot help but to fall
...
A little slumber, a little folding of hands
And poverty hits like an armed robber
Pummeling squarely on its victim
The hands and legs feel weak
...
'Ready? '
The bell rings
I ought to go fighting
In confusion my head swings
...
With keen interest one listens
As ears with sound are beaten
With the rythm one flows
Like a river as it trods
...
I sit here and wait
Ignorant of my fate
Eager to meet my mate
Before I fall and faint
...
