"What do you want to do when you grow up"
"I want to change the world"
"Ok but what are you going to do?"
"Change the world"
"You can't"
"I can"
"You won't"
"I will"
"A little girl like you, can't do a thing"
"Yes I can"
"You're too young to understand"
"No I'm not"
"You're not going to change a thing"
"How do you know"
"I just do"
"Well I know that I'm going to change the world"
"Good luck"
"Thank you!"

It wasn't one moment
That made me fall in love
With snowboarding
I didn't stand at the top of the mountain
As the wind whipped my hair
And decided I loved to snowboard
It wasn't the moment when
Sometimes I imagine
That my life is a movie
Each scene belongs to a song
Each song to a scene
Sometimes I let myself
Just float in the music
Red
White
And Blue
The colors of America
We parade down the streets
Covered in these colors
I wonder what our parade will look like
This year
Will we parade with joy
Celebrate tragedies
