Alien to the eyes of this nation

"I'm an alien with a heart and a face, 
I am foreign, but where I go, I leave a trace. 
They told me my dreams were too far at reach, 
but back home, 
that's not what they preached.
I'm in God's hands, and I shall not miss a thing.
Nothing can stop me, not even a fiend.
I am just an alien to the eyes of this nation,
That shaped my mindset and built my determination.
I have a dream but others take slight consideration. 
It's a shame, I'm truly just like others: a God's creation.
But tell me today, that I can't...and I'll show you my will.
God is by my side, look at me.. you'll wonder why I stand, still."
