Day's Desire


Aspirations are cool

Having to get up early for school

Is not

But getting up to try

Getting up to succeed

Now that is pretty cool

My dreams allow me to get up

Every morning waking up is another chance to succeed

Another day, another day to achieve

To live in a place that is chosen

A paradise for my family and I

This paradise awaits me

Every day when I awake

I'm getting closer to my dream
