I was born innocent; shield me,
From the trap of endless corruption,
From senseless and vain destruction,
Please do not tarnish my perception,
I was born blind; guide me,
To attain my lifelong mission,
To make every wise decision,
Please don’t corrupt my vision,
I was born weak; protect me,
Help me keep my every tradition,
Help me live up to my conception,
Guide me to bless every generation,
I was born rich; invest in me,
Let me grow into a great nation,
For greatness is my destination,
I was not made for destruction,
I was born fragile; mold me,
To embrace all of creation,
To facilitate everyone’s vision,
And respect every tradition
But now am crying; console me,
Restore back my tainted vision,
Pray for my soil salvation,
And stop this soul damnation,
My heart is breaking; heal me,
Stop dwelling on the question
Scar your knees for a solution
Wake up, accept the transition,
Let God’s love erase this damnation,
As His peace reigns upon this nation!
