I Am

I am Renee, a girl who sings along to music
I wonder what music will sound like in 30 years
I hear tunes dancing in my ear
I see movement in everything and everyone
I want to experience life at its fullest
I am Renee, a girl who sings along to music

I pretend I'm telling everyone a story through music
I feel no weight on my shoulders
I touch the hearts and eyes of people
I worry about others
I cry for all deaths and happiness lost
I am Renee, a girl who sings along to music

I understand the sadness of losing something
I say that we are all different and unique
I dream of travelling the world and sharing happiness with others
I try to make people smile
I hope music never dies out
I am Renee, a girl who sings along to music
