Lyrics
I was born a poor boy
I was born a loser
I was born a loner
I was born reclusive
but here I am, here I am
I was born in danger
I was born with a temper
I was born a stranger
I was conceived in anger
but here I am, here I am
I listened to the preacher
I coudnt find the reasons
I made it through another season
but most of all I need ya
I need you to stay, I pray
I was born a poor boy
I was born a loser
I was born alone now
I came from the future
but here I am, here I am
