Alien to the eyes of this nation

January 22, 2014

"I'm an alien with a heart and a face,

I am foreign, but where I go, I leave a trace.

They told me my dreams were too far at reach,

but back home,

that's not what they preached.

I'm in God's hands, and I shall not miss a thing.

Nothing can stop me, not even a fiend.

I am just an alien to the eyes of this nation,

That shaped my mindset and built my determination.

I have a dream but others take slight consideration.

It's a shame, I'm truly just like others: a God's creation.

But tell me today, that I can't...and I'll show you my will.

God is by my side, look at me.. you'll wonder why I stand, still."
