lyrics

I have come from a very poor family
I never had much and i never asked why
and though some great houses have filled me with envy
i have always survived, always survived

And you may say i am lacking ambition
But i have distinguished desire from need
No matter the possessions you may gather around you
You are always left wanting what's just out of your reach
You are always left wanting what's just out of your reach

My grandmother she married a rich man
Her parents insisted, when she was nineteen
But she left his home and caused such a scandal
Because she wasn't where she knew she needed to be

And you may say i am lacking ambition
But i have distinguished desire from need
No matter the possessions you may gather around you
You are always left wanting whats just out of your reach,
You're always left wanting whats just out of your reach

I never knew my own father
i was never intended to be.
His careless error, and my mothers burden
Oh how she suffered for me
