I Am Who I Am
Looking in the mirror I understand I am only as strong as the person I see.
But my dreams are to change the world through a black and white key.
I can’t stand as high as the tallest tree
And I can’t free our world from the misery and treachery; the dark.
But with my desire to have a change I believe I can spark
The battle we will win against the powerful question mark.
I was taught to have a giant heart
And that to love yourself is just a start.
Stuck on level one and there’s more than one part.
But I want to be with the ones who stood.
My name is Francisco Martinez and I believe I could.
I think I should.
Simply because these words speak louder than my voice.
Simply because this is my choice; my purpose.
To take my emotion from beneath the surface
And help to change a life before it worsens.
My name is Francisco Martinez and I stand before you with no desire to be king.
I just bring forth my dream to change this world where
People don’t have to worry about a thing.
Where I can play my keys and let the people sing while crying out their dream.
But only so much can be accomplished.
But I won’t give up on the damned.
Will work until my words spread throughout the land.
For my name is Francisco Daniel Martinez
And this is Who I Am.
