Why are my words
Powerless?Why do I speak
If no one will listen?What's the reason for trying
If you're just going to be shot down?They tell us to make a change,
Shoot for the stars,
'Cause you'll make it,But not all of us make it
Not all of us shoot at the right target
Not all of make change,But the ones who do,
Nobody hears them,
Nobody listensWords, they have meaning,
Burning passion,
The need for somethingWords change things for the better
Words change things for the worse
Words change the world.It could be scribbled on a napkin,
It could be the most known manuscript,
It could be that book in your hand right now,Words burn
They burn down bridges,
And racist sexist, broken wallsThey destroy a mindset,
And open new possibilities,
Possibilities far from reachSo, why are my words,
Powerless?The words may be Powerless,
But the message isn't
So I speak for those who can'tSo, why do I speak,
If no one will listen?Because it's not about who's listening;
It's about the words worth speaking,
The message worth receiving,What's the reason for trying
If I'm just going to be shot down?Because a girl can take a shot,
And she'll stand back up, and she'll keep fighting,
Because that's what's importantSo, words, they have meaning,
Burning passion,
The need for change.-
Not to drop a major bomb or anything
But I'm submitting an Americas got talent audition so that I'll have proof that I got rejected
It's a long story
