Beauty is unreachable
Love is just a game
Lies become believable
Others thrive off of our pain
...

My heart was once so open
So innocent and free
I shared it with the world
For the world enamored me
...

Maybe I'm the cloud
On the cloudless day
Maybe I'm the silence
When there's so much to say
...

My faith has been tested
My love has been stretched
I've learned so much
But am blind to the rest
...

A heart pure and strong
A mind so quick and clever
A voice that can reach out
A world to be made better
...

I have the strength to move mountains
If I'd only just try
I have a light that shines within me
Like the stars in the sky
...

Time and time agin
Life has knocked me down
But I always lift my head
And get back up off the ground
...

There was born into this world
A little girl with a dream
Her eyes shone with innocence
Her face alight with glee
...
