I'm an ordinary girl
With an ordinary life
And a an ordinary dream
Of world peace
It's the one thing I'm always headed towards.
I am always smiling.
You will never see me frown.
I can laugh and make people's days
I can smile and show another a simple helping hand.
I get lost in thought.
I mean honestly who doesn't ever visit la la land?
We've all got dreams and our ideas
And our unique ways to express ourselves.
Past, Present or Future.
I just close my eyes and feel myself running down the street to the song in my heart
It's beating louder and louder stronger than ever
It feels like it's screaming out loud.
It's time to treasure the fun
And forget the things that make you cringe and groan.
You smile but it's stern.
You make eye contact and with one glance everyone already knows you are confident.
You're not a bystander.
You step into conflict ready to intercede and have the problem solved
If only you had the chance given to break up a fight
That's the girl you're.
The friends you have see you as outgoing but you know when a joke goes to far
And has lost it laughter
And it's not funny anymore.
You speak the truth when others need to here it.
