I Am

I am small and crazy
I wonder about life outside of school
I hear rain hitting the window
I see the sun shining brightly
I want to travel the world
I am small and crazy

I pretend that I can travel anywhere
I feel that I can be myself around anyone
I touch people’s hearts (hopefully)
I worry that the world will disappear
I cry when I’m sad or afraid
I am small and crazy

I understand how we live on earth
I say that all dreams can come true
I dream about playing professional football
I try to do my best at everything
I hope that one day I can go back to England
I am small and crazy
