A baby is born
The adults scream in delight
They wonder of his future
As he runs to the light

He grows up with care
Constant love that’s undying
The support gives him wings
To the future he’s flying

He runs home
With papers in his hands
Awards and certificates
He has millions of fans

Then the next baby comes by
The adults expect more
Instead of screaming and cheering
They don’t care anymore

She comes home
With her first A
She expects praise and love
But their faces are gray

The expectations
They pile as high as Mount Everest
She must be better
Stronger
Smarter

But no
She finally decided
Realization came and
Now she knows her life’s misguided

So she unlocked the door
Of oppression and greed
And entered a life
Where she herself could succeed

Now she looks in the mirror
And sees her reflection
As a proud young girl
Confident of her perfection

I will be who I am
The one I want to be
I will not follow his footsteps
I will find freedom’s key

I approached hesitantly
Stopping before the door
Unlocking it to greatness
I saw life’s wonders and more

This is my life
And I’m lovin’ it (McDonald’s theme song cue)
