Just Believe

I knew you son as a little baby
In a rambling house just down the road
With other kids in an orphanage kept
You learned to rise and walk before your time
So many times I saw how you suffered
But not for once did tears caress your face
You learned to grow in an unfeeling world
One day you left to find your destiny
I see you son, you’re sweating in the hot sun
Grasping a shovel, carrying heavy loads
The hair is grey at the young age of nineteen
But in your pains you kept your dreams alive
The world is filled with many who want something
What those who have don’t know how to use
Your chance will come, just be ready to grab it
Then you will rise; one day you’ll be away
I see you son, you’re coming into your own
I see the joy, the victory in your eyes
I told you son I knew all along I was right
One day you’ll rise and then you’ll be away…
