My Untold Aspiration

One day I'll play the stage at Madison Square Garden.

Thousands of fans screaming my name.

It won't be the reason I do it, it's not the reason I started.

I was never allured by the cheques or the fame.

The reason I do it is because music is medicine.

It makes me feel stronger when the worlds deems me lame.

They kick me and beat me, further bruised when I'm wounded.

Until the fire inside of me bursts into flames.

I am the phoenix, I rise from the ashes.

I burn 'til I'm broken and torn from the pain.

The storm starts brewing, the sea level rises.

I don't fear the thunder, I was born in the rain.

My dream is too conquer, not the world but myself.

Silence the voices echoed through my brain.

Worldly pleasures attract me but I still deny it.

For with peace in my heart, what more could I gain?
