Me Can Live
Without it I cannot live
Without it I am lost
And without it I am nothing
What could possibly be so powerful?
Would it be the air I breathe?
Or would it be the sun in the sky?
It it none of these
It is in fact
Me, Myself, And I
Who decides: I do
Who determines: Myself
Who does it affect: Me
If I don't let I do its deciding
And Myself do it its determining
Then Me will be at the mercy of what I and Myself let take control
If Others do the deciding
And the World does the determining
Then Me is just a sculpture created without a heart of its own
If Social Class does the deciding
And Money does the determining
Then Me is just lost without hope and at the mercy of fate
And if Family does the deciding
And Fear does the determining
Then Me is trapped and can never soar
But if I decides
Then Myself can determine
What Me will be defined by
If I decides to be different despite how everyone else is
And Myself is determined to be who I wants to be
Then Me will be free to be unique
If I decides to go beyond what Social Class is defined by
And Myself is determined despite any money restraints
Then Me will have hope to be able to achieve any dreams
And if I decides to not let family take control
And Myself is determined to not let fear take over
Then Me will not be trapped and will be able to soar
I decide
Myself determines
Me can live
