I Am

I am a deep pure of heart dreamer
I wonder why people always have to fight
I hear the cries of the mutes and their songs
I see halos around the heads of the worthy
I want to be loved for who I am
I am a deep pure of heart dreamer

I pretend that my life is all smiles
I feel passionate for the hearts that have not seen love
I touch the cool blue clouds in heaven
I worry about never being enough
I cry when someone I love gets hurt or dies
I am a deep pure of heart dreamer

I understand that life is not always fair
I say that I believe in God and I do
I dream about the perfect life I've always wanted
I try to not let people see me fail
I hope that one day I'll be seen for who I am
I am a deep, pure of heart dreamer

I remember crying by your hospital bed
I promote the life of every child to be taken seriously
I preserve my heart till someone comes to claim it
I wish the world would stop all this hate
I look to the past for my answers to the future
I am a deep, pure of heart dreamer

I excel in nothing less than being myself
I retaliate when someone tells me I am not good enough
I use curiosity to learn about tomorrow
I am challenged by reaching the bar raised in front of me
I can become a better person
I am a deep, pure of heart dreamer
