Laurence Overmire - The Seeds of Power lyrics

were sown before I was born in another man's field from the window of my small hut I watched his mansions grow the servants bringing news of the secret lives there led the dalliance of love without effort romance on the deck of a sailing ship rendezvous and midnight soirees Grand Balls at the Governor's Palace polo with the Prince on his chestnut steed I often wondered had I been granted the reins of fortune without the means to suffer indignity would I attend the play take the mallet with a mighty swing chuck the troubles of this world galloping through life with only the thought to finish the day in winning colors?
