Verse 1:
A child's eyes that shine so bright
But cry alone through summer nights

she feels afraid and lost and shy
with many struggles in her life
we're worlds apart, the same inside


night will end the sun will rise
another day of compromise

she'll greet you with a gentle smile
no time today to be a child
maybe just a little while


Chorus:
If you just believe in me

We could re-write history
On a stage, on a page
make a difference, make a change


If you just believe in me
together we'll make history

hope and faith, love and pride
stand together side by side


Verse 2:
Forced to be a man by 9
With a family who relies

On him just to help get by
A babys born, a baby cries
A baby sister has arrived


A peaceful soul a fighters heart
In a world so torn apart

Through it all he'll not complain
He knows that change will come someday
Somedays not so far away


Bridge/Rap:


I'm rising from the ashes, feeling like a phoenix

we got more in common than the differences between us


I used to live blind till my soul ran dry


I finally woke up and now my eyes are open wide

The longest journey starts with a simple little plan


A heart with good intentions and the need to lend a hand


We all face a different challenge, every single day

But we all got a voice and choice and today......
