 My dreams and wishes aren’t to do dishes.
I want to make a change.
I see thugs up and down the street.
And yes,
I know two or three,
But that does not make me one.
I have dreams
And I will succeed.
For all of you who are worried,
 You can stop rushing and hurrying.
I can do my part
To keep this world together.
Whatever I do,
My dreams will come true.
