What I Have To Say
I believe in luck and I believe in magic
and I'm aware of the best and the most tragic
I have a grip on truth and hold hands with honesty
although I let my imagination get to the best of me
I wish I could save the world all at once
but all those people laugh like I'm the dunce
my ideas are realistic no matter what you say
I could be president or a firefighter one day
I'm not some pretty girl wearing new shoes
I don't always get to pick and choose
I have it rough just like the rest of you
I know what you feel even if you don't think I do
Sure I'm smiling every day
and I seem like I always know just what to say
but you've got to understand that I want to hear it too
so I'm saying it for me not just for you
