No fault of your own
Witness people become homeless
Elders experiencing crime
The defenseless are powerless
When the wealthy overcome them in time
Situations in life are unpredictable
One day on top then the bottom
Due to no fault of your own you're susceptible
To forces deciding your final outcome
