For years they strived together to make a life for him
A boy born into pesantry...but destined to be a prince
Scrimped and saved for private schooling, taught him right from wrong
but everytime he passed the public school...he knew thats where he belonged
A songbird caught up in the reins of peer pressure..couldnt handle
To his parents..there was no failing....an A minus was a scandle
The grandparents lent theyre shoulder for the small boy
when he snuck out to the partys they would be his decoy
on his graduation day they both took him aside
And handed him two tickets for the next out-of-state plane ride
The parents were livid..and cut all ties with them
but before they could object...the boy was on the train
with a bag over his shoulder and a stranger by his side
they noticed that he had infact..regained that precious smile
After his long vacation, he came back to greet his parents
to find that they disowned him too for being really careless
for having fun and making friends..and sending them no postcard
It seemed so heartless, a son aint something you can discard
So round to his grandparents the boy did run
They took him in, after all he was their only grandson
but they could not support him through his college years
so the boy was forced to work....and landed back into poverty
But soon he found his way back up the ladder into management
He had his own family..and taught them never to pass judgement
and never to expect more from eachother than their best
And claimed that if it wasnt for his parents...he would never have had success
Then one day..out of sheer dumb luck..
he was driving by an old folks home and decided to stop
Walked inside the building...to see a fearful sight
his mother and his father...in the middle of a fight
she was calling him a bastard...and she was an ungratefull bitch
it seemed that giving up their son...had hit a technical glitch
No one to look after them....no one to take them in
Almost for a minute.....he felt sorry for them
But then it hit him.........what a coincidence
cause the life that they denied him..ment now...THEY had no independence
