Against the Grain
You base your dreams upon the things
society expects from you
but at last, above the class
you're able to stand true
forget the tales, the countless ales
the bottles you've drunk dry
and past the tears of all those years
you'll spread your wings and fly
the parents phased from all those days
you'd spend alone in fear
they thought you dumb, you'll not succumb
to the lies you'll hear
for not too smart, you'll spread yout art
no matter consequence
and future bright, you'll start tonight
it finally makes sense
do not hold back, you do not lack
those things of which they've said
against the grain, but bearing the strain
a better life you've lead.
