These eyes have seen much in their short twenty-seven years
I've witnessed many miracles, and had pain that caused me tears
I'm really not that special, it's just the approach I take on things
Instead of giving up, I find ways to allow my heart to sing

This soul has been interwined with good and bad
I've seen more than some twice as old as me
It's not that I'm better than anyone else
It's just I've learned how to be free--

I use to chase the demons in the night
They were such a part of my everyday
Now though I just listen to what my heart says
I let it guide the way

These eyes could tell you many stories
There have been times I thought I could take no more
Then I turned inward and looked upward
I found my wings to soar

This soul could paint you a picture
You could never see in any art gallery
For it's the picture of who I've become
The person I call ME

"When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter"
