	I was born into this world 
To be the dream, the change 
I was born into this world 
But now I am your slave 
 
I was born into this world 
To fend for myself and my brothers 
I was born into this world 
Yet I became your lover 
 
I was born into this world 
To be a sister, a daughter, a wife and friend 
I was born into this world 
With the name ‘prostitute’, and a ‘good for nothing’, as my brand 
 
I was born into this world 
With a dream of becoming someone 
I was born into this world 
And I became no one 
 
I was born into this world 
Wishing I could have a life 
I was born into this world 
And I became your dead wife 
 
I was born into this world 
As a woman, a daughter, a child 
I was born into this world 
And you all took away my life
