I Thought I Lived for You
I longed for You. I thought I lived for You. I was mislead in what I thought was the real You, but I told You I'd never give up on fighting to be with You.

One glance is all it takes to see everything. I'm not better than you, only different. I can't be molded, I can't be shaped. I strive to make the world a better place.

Listen while you read and you may be inspired as well.
