Who am I to say I hate it all?
Shelter me, the life they'll never know
Who am I to shout so loud?
Shower me with hope, a fool is all

It's my desire, my desire
I plead no war
Is it important, is it important
Our kids know more
My desire, my desire
I'll quit no more
But it's all I know

Who am I to say what's really wrong?
So consumed with life, I've heard it all
Who am I to stand so tall?
Am I as blind as those who tried before?

It's my desire, my desire
I plead no war
Is it important, is it important
Our kids know more
My desire, my desire
I'll quit no more
And it's all I know

They don't want us all to know
See their riches overflow
