Strength In Music

Salute my life through the day
I'm a strong woman and humble.
A soldier was born years ago
"I will never slip or stumble."

My future unknown, yet I carry on
Full of light everyday.
Searching for beauty everywhere
"With a smile that won't wash away."

"But there's nothing to do but believe"
In the fate that God created.
One more night to get through
I'm free and understated. 

"Why do we crucify ourselves"
to be perfection in this life?
Sarah Mclachlan says build yourself
And then it will be right.
Eminem raps from his heart
Tori Amos from her soul
We breathe in Telepopmusik
And believe ourselves to whole.
