The pain I feel is so great
But I cannot give in to hate
I feel only a great abiding sorrow
They know not what they'll miss tomorrow
Much I have risked but much to gain
Despite all of this forsaken pain
With my family I must stand true
Though I've lost all others too
For without them what have I
when to my parents I must say goodbye
They are my life and I am theirs
Despite all our put upon airs
I have made my choice and so I stand
Firm of foot upon this land
I may be orphaned before my time
And for this line I know no rhyme
But I know this, this I do
I love my family and parents too
But when between them is the choice
My love of family I must give voice
Turn my back on them will I never do
If you knew me you'd not ask me to
My family is always first place
For my heart they win the race
