You Can't


Say "No."

Say "You won't."

say "You are nothing."

Say "It's impossible."

Say all these things.

Say these words!

Say them!

They are but fuel for my fire!

I say "yes."

I say "I will."

I say "I can."

I say "Nothing is impossible."

I say these things.

I say these words!

I say them!

They are the fire caused by your fuel!

I am strong

I am solid.

I am amazing.

So go ahead.

Go ahead!

Say these things!

Say "You can't" and I will prove to you that I can.

I will prove I can!

I can!

So say "You can't."
