MAN OF FATE


Days and days I move without means but a heavy heart

Like the birds of the air I am though they move along with no fear

For the son of man, no means at all not even a hat

Day in day out with suffering and pain while I remain here

Ooh! Man of fate I am.

 

Loss of parents is the best experience so far

Lack of parental love and care is the most I hate

Truly I say no position and worthiness I confer

My worry and pain is to remain in the same state

Ooh! Man of fate I am.

 

With no exclusion of even the children they set their attitude

Seeing poverty linger around our home stead is their pride

Without excuse and apology, they call me dude

But I hope one day as long as god live I will make a stride

Ooh! Man of fate I am.
