I'm a bastard child of a broken home

I raised myself up on my own 

Where do you turn when you feel alone?

Deprived of a childhood and more

I'm angry, bitter, pissed and sore

Now I've got feelings that you can't ignore


All my life I've been out on my own

My innocense and youth are all but gone

All my life I've been out on my own

My strength to carry on is all but gone


I make my choices just for me

I'll be the man I want to be

All my allegiance here is gone

I made the man you see right here

I've made it by on luck and prayers

I've made it out of your careless care


All my life I've been out on my own

My innocense and youth are all but gone

All my life I've been out on my own

My strength to carry on is all but gone!
