Believe
I am not the kind of person who just lets go Relaxes, lets loose, and just goes with the flow I cling tight to the future!With dreams ill get better But with every step I just get wetter and wetter As I'm drowning in homework And drowning in seas Of letter grades. A's never B's. Never B's. In class I sit up tall As the teacher has made me an example for all But I am grimacing inside my head I just want to go back to my bed I don't want to be here! I don't want to try! I want to do something more with my life. I want to be happy, I want to be free I want someone to see the real me The me beyond papers, and tests, and grades To see that I’m more than just a brain Am I more than just a brain? And then I met you And you taught me to see That there is so much more to this person called me! I am not defined by a standardized test! - I'm defined by ME, and I'm what I do best Because of you, I've learned I'm okay I've learned I am loved, no matter my grade So yes, I know I'll still strive to be perfect But I'm far closer now that my heart isn't hurting. I'm much better since you've helped me be happy With your hand I can hold, and your heart that believes in me. And now my heart believes in me too.
