 Lyrics:
 
 I was born into a scene
 of angriness and greed
 of dominance and persecution
 
 My mother was a queen
 my dad I've never seen
 I was never meant to be
 
 Now I spend my time
 looking all around
 For a man that's nowhere
 to be found
 until I find him
 I'm never gonna stop searching
 I'm gonna find my man
 gonna travel around
 
 CHORUS
 Cos I'm a wrathchild
 Well I'm a wrathchild
 Yeh I'm a wrathchild
 Oh I'm coming to get ya
 Oh yeah-eh-yeah
 
 Some say it shouldn't matter
 ain't nothing gonna alter
 the course of my destination
 
 But I know I've gotta find
 some serious peace of mind
 or I know I'll just go crazy
 
 CHORUS
