Life Is What You Make It

Birth, the life of dreams now comes to town as parents gain the title as a crown The dream, the thought, success for mothers child as both the parents plan the future wild It's college, love, success the parents dream in dreams you see your child as a queen the king of all your future thoughts and schemes The hero and the knights of tables round Yet life is not as easy as it seems sometime the parents drink and fight and scream sometimes the battles lost and love is gone sometimes the childs dark night linger on Yet many are the hurdles that we climb life the battle sometimes overcome When you believe that you can climb each rung When you believe that you are number one when you believe that you can plan each day to build the steps that help you grow and play A young girl living on the city streets believed that she could do it in her sleep She crept her way through college studied in the hall way doors she build a better future living in the streets of londons poor believe that you can do it you the king of your success believe that you can do it never beaten down by death.
