The Family Sin

How destructive is the family sin
Everything is his who's chosen to win
The chosen one
The favored son
How unfair it is. Where shall I begin!

How the daughter feels is not even asked
A father's ideals, laid down hard and fast
Wealth for the boy
The girl no joy
He kicks up his heels; She is so downcast

So please don't treat your children in that way
And try to be sure to be fair today
That what you choose
Does not abuse
Your children's trust or drive them all away
