When I have nobody but me
I 'd rather be real
Instead of being hopeless and still
Begging for alms I won't be fit
Hence I could make good use of my skills
I 'd work my blessings myself
Instead allow my dream stolen by theft
No need wallow a long mile
Waiting for a helper to harvest my smile
No need narrow the wrong mind
Fighting over a loaf when I 've got some
spiced slice
Should I pry over a neighbor's bliss?
When with strength my joy I can team and mix
When hard my endurance heaps
I 'd lie beneath wherever my elbow reach
When I have nobody but me
From negation my mind will
be made free
Knowing nobody is me
Who among men can make my future ripe?
Only with my own hand I can turn up the darkness into light
Success is far fetched while facing your perceived plight
Instead beckon a friend to help put your future right
When I have nobody but me
I 'd grab every slight opportunity and thrive
Creating the most perfect of my being
Living up to expectation a deal
I 'd wake from slumber in pursuit of a desired dream
Though the road be made rough to ride
Indolence I will first place on hide.
