I Am

I must continually try to remind myself,
That I can never be anyone else.
I�ll never be that rich guy in the magazine,
I know that life will never be a fairytale dream.
But this world will continue to go around,
And I will be ready if it all goes down.

I�ll never be the singer of a number one song,
And I�ll never fully know what�s right or wrong.
But I know who I am and what I must do�
If the sun turns black or the sky remains blue.
And as my friends grow old along with my face,
My heart will never feel aged with regret or disgrace.

I�ll never be truly heard by anyone for anything,
Or feel that my inner colors will explode out and sing.
I�ll probably never be able to find my way,
Or feel truly content when I finish a day.
So I drink to the things that I am and will be,
And promise to never be someone other than me.
