Analysis of Be proud of who you are
Nseketelo 2006 (Acornhoek)
You are born for a purpose
You might see yourself suffering
You might think you are forsaken
You see poverty coming
Thinking life is unfair
But you are born for a purpose
You are not in that in family by mistake
You are not born by mistake
Yes,you might think so
But life is unpredictable
It might be hard for you now
But your future won't be the same
Don't blame anyone
Don't let depression control you
I repeat you are born for a purpose!
