I am optimistic and determined
I wonder how far away it is from me
I hear loud shouts of hope
I see that this will not be easy
I want to fulfill this dream
I am optimistic and determined

I pretend I am flying
I feel the wind blowing against my face
I touch the cloud
I worry that this bliss will end
I dance because I am blessed with such joy
I am optimistic and determined

I understand that this paradis will not last forever
I say success only comes with hard work
I dream about the best that I can be
I run the race
I will cross the finish line
