What I Want

 

If life was easy, and I could buy

A future full of love and peace

Then why would I even try?

 

If my mind was mature, and I could know

That life was meant for the life that follows it

Then I’ll be someone my progenies will wish they could have known

 

I want an equal society that fairly represents

The rights of all individuals from any continent

That share a moral faith from their own personal god

Celebrating life by living science you can’t experiment on

 

I want a loving companion, a honest Earth child

Someone to confide in, to take and get lost in the wild

A life-long friend, with me 'til the end, who our children can depend

By our hearts we will tend, by our lives we will defend

 

I want my children to respect their Mother Earth

The beauty of life, the miracle of birth

I’ll teach them the character I’ve learned from my Father

I’ll give them the Love that I’ve learned from my Mother

 

I want to travel the world, sail the seven seas

Be a hero in the eyes of a girl, find the cure to a disease

Discover beauty in all living things

Never fear what the future may bring
