What I Dream For

I dream to help those in need.
I dream to give those who have nothing, something.
To teach the uneducated.
To warn the unsupervised.
That's what I'll live for.

I dream to show kids how to live.
I dream to show kids how to survive.
Like Annie Sullivan.
Showing someone who couldnt do anything, the meaning of life.
That's what I'll hope for.

I dream to teach kids right from wrong.
I dream to tell kids they have potential.
Kids saying no to drugs will be cooler.
That peer pressure will truly be a disgrace.
That's what I'll plead for.

I dream to make kids aware that they arent useless.
I dream to stop the abuse caused by themselves and others.
To stop the sorrow from another teen suicide.
To show them how much they have to live for.
That's what I'll dream for.
