I can


We're trying to make it in this world

But most of us are still poor

Hold hands let the world know, that we are stronger than what we stand for...

 

Dreams are what we hope to see come true

But we are deceived by the words of those who do not see.

I could sit here for days and tell you about all the things you could make come true

 

BUT IT IS YOU WHO CAN CHANGE

They scream no you can't but don't let their words interfere with your plans

Their words nothing but a whisper in the air

 

Take in a deep breath of of despair

Stop...Listen, think

Scream I CAN.
