[Verse 1]
The parents are the people we're depending on
For the growth of the children
If they treat them right
We gonna have a brighter future
If they treat them wrong
We gonna have brats in the world
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is right
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is wrong
You’ve got to fast your while
Just think about the children
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is right

[Pre-Chorus]
Without the parents (Without the mother)
Children are suffering (Children are suffering)
Without the father (Without the father)
Children are suffering (Children are suffering)
Without the parents (Without the parents)

[Chorus]
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
[Verse 2]
You’ve got to watch out my son
If your mother doesn’t care for you
You’ve got to watch out my girl
If your mother doesn’t care for you
Question yako is there
Its gonna take care
They need parental care
They need spiritual care
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is right?
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is wrong?
No, no, no
They need parental care
They need spiritual care
If they grow up without their parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is wrong?

[Refrain]
Without the parents (Without the mother)
Children are suffering (Children are suffering)
Without the father (Without the father)
Children are suffering (Children are suffering)
Without the parents (Without the parents)
[Verse 3]
The parents are the people we're depending on
For the growth of the children
If they treat them right
We gonna have a brighter future
If they treat them wrong
We gonna have brats in the world
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is right?
If they grow up without the parents
Who’s gonna tell them this is wrong?

[Chorus]
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
