I sing all day.
People say I can’t sing,
That doesn’t stop me.
People always say, “No way,
You can’t do it.”
That doesn’t stop me.
People always try to walk over me,
Call me names, say bad things.
Sometimes I think I should end it all
Like a tree ready to fall.
But then I go by my motto:
You can step on me
But you can’t stop me.
I’m like the wind.
I might stop,
But I’ll come again.
Before people talk about me,
They should know
What I’ve been through.
People say, “I’m better than you.”
I like the motto that I use:
You can step on me
You can even break me
But you can’t stop me.
