Lucky Man's Son

I wasn't born a lucky man's son, 
nor was I to live the life of one.

Born what I was in the home of the brave,
I was a victim of my great, greatest grandfather's grave.

Life then was as always before,
only a few had chance to reach their core.

Now life hasn't changed much at all, 
still fewer men rise and many more fall.

Yet decided somewhere from far within 
that I was not to carry the burden of so many's sin.
