Dream
Who are you to tell me no
What I should be and where I should go
I'm going to do what I want to do
and be who I want to be
I'm going to the top
I'm not going to stop
until my name is famous
I'll say it with confidence
I'm not afraid and I live with no fear
if I fail that means success is near
the finish line is close
stand up and give me a toast
Everyone laughed and called me a joke
and you doubted me the most
I called you friend, family, even brother
and you dis-respect me like I'm some other...guy
with no feelings or rights
NO, who are you to tell me different
and what to do with my life
I don't want to act and I dont want to sing
but like Martin Luther King I have a dream
