I Can't

We all have that one moment of doubt

That one moment in time where that accomplishment is seen,

But never fulfilled

Because of that one famous line

I can't

People believe what you tell them

People care about how they're conceived

But they never consider their own thoughts or feelings

It's only when advice or a decision is made

That we see a change in their ways

But still they say 'I Can't

'I Can't' & 'I Won't' go hand in hand

'I Can't' & 'I Won't' can drive someone over the edge of insanity

Just shut the world out for one measure of a beat

Shut the world out and accept the defeat

People are going to tell you you can't

But when you start acting like it, that's when you really can't

And that's how dreams die

And futures fade

How ones mind can be deceived

Into accepting and conforming

Into a 'normal' life that's boring

Instead of breaking away from everyone else's everyday,

and creating a world of their own

Where I can't and I won't don't exist

It's filled with I cans and I wills

Where their will is strong

But their confidence is stronger

And a new phrase forms

I Can

We all believe in better days

We all agree we should change our ways

But no on ever goes for the gold

No one decides to be bold

Why?

Because of acceptance

Acceptance is key for them to be happy

For them to be happy they have to be accepted, for them to be accepted they have to fit in, and for them to fir in,

we're back to I can't again

When I was little I had a dream

That I'd be a country singing star

I'd stand on a stage and play my guitar

And sing the night away

But what happened to me?

Conformity, Insecurity, and I can't

I told a friend about my dream, and from her doubt sprung a seed of insecurity within me

I began to doubt myself

And gave up momentarily...

But I got back on track,

and I'm closer than before

Simply because I seen that I can will can bring you farther

And I can makes you stronger

So put down that catch phrase

And pick up another

This one is called I can

You can too
