Every child was born to be great
Watch and pray and wait
Love and give it time to grow
There are many things to know.
If a child is going to be great
He needs an even ground to sit
Give enough time to watch and learn
Time to learn to be a proper human.
Nobody knows if a child will be great
Just give it a chance to make it
Stop the wars and corruption
Immunize them and give basic education.
Baby Barack was born to be great
But nobody knew until he made it
So there's greatness in every child
Encourage their imaginations to run wild.
Presiden Ellen Sirleaf Johnson was born to be great
Not until Havard, politics and the prison pit
Not until she was elected Africa's first female President,
Did we all know that she was a Godsent?
Every child was born to be great
Maybe I too was born to be great
Maybe one day I will become a great poet
Nobody knows until the day I become a laureate.
