I think Rod was shooting for pathos in Blind Prayer, but I can't make it through the song without laughing: I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer 'Til I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five I lost both my mother and my father Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun And that ain't all A homeless child for the next five years With my dog clown by my side and my only friend Yeah, yeah, yeah I fought my way through school Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend And you know what the, the, the kids Down my street weren't too playful And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me And ah yeah I worked my fingers to the bone Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town But then, but then I lost the last thing I had When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman Sixteen years old and felt like a woman But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt Tread my name into the dirt yeah
