I Can Be

Location

If I tried, I could fly.

I'm sure of it.

If I tried, I could dance.

I know it.

But, I am here. Behind the world.

Waiting, waiting, waiting.

If I tried, I could cure cancer.

I have faith.

If I tried, I could stop world hunger.

I'm not the only one.

But, here am I. Behind the world.

Watching, watching, watching.

Should I take a step forward?

Yes.

Closer, closer, closer.

I can fly, I can dance.

I can cure cancer, I can stop world hunger.

I can be.

The only thing that can stop me is me.
