Change My Life...And Yours
It's a simple fact that I've accepted,
I've come to terms with myself.
I know that satisfaction will be hard to find
because my ambition drives me.
My directionless life has some direction
as I plan my future and remember my past.
Undecided majors flood my dreams
and the prospect of the future tends to frighten me.
Whatever it is that I plan to do,
I know that I want to help YOU,
and you, and you, and you.
It's a simple fact in my mind
that I can not stand to see people suffer.
Through my future career I want to end it all
and everything will be worthwhile.
Whether hunger, disease, or war
I know that helping people is my ultimate destiny.
From Africa to Ukrane, Russia to India
people are needlessly suffering.
Whatever it is that I plan to do,
I know that I want to help YOU,
and you, and you, and you.
Of course my future will require hard work.
Bachelors Degrees and Doctorates
may be in my future.
There's no way that my path will be easy
because nothing good is ever free.
Studying for finals may consume my time.
This will all be worth it for the diploma I recieve.
Achieving this is my only dream.
Whatever it is that I plan to do,
I know that I want to help YOU,
and you, and you, and you.
It is impossible for me to not face discrimination.
Ambitious women are still looked down upon.
I hope that with my ambition
I can break down the walls ahead.
There will always be people who do not want me to succeed
and I have no need for them.
Surrounding myself with those who support me
will keep me on top always.
Whatever it is that I plan to do,
I know that I want to help YOU,
and you, and you, and you.
Indicisivness is not a fault,
it is an endless expanse of opportunity ahead.
