Why Not Me?


Happiness and joy, money at my feet

why not me?

Families going through hard times

people on the street, fearing things will never be the same

seeing me, makes there day.

Having a little more hope for change.

Why not me?

I'm not anything yet, but I soon will be.

You won't know me for music, or even beauty

but for the change you will soon see.

Why not me?

Getting an education for money,

100% of it won't be for me

50% will be for charity and poverty

30% for the people who helped me succeed

20% is for what I please.

Giving to the homeless and less fortunate. 

Why not me?

What they use it for is nothing I can see

but hopefully I gave them a chance to be something they want to be.

 Why not me?
