Not only are we DREAMERS we are visionaries.
We set our sights and then achieve
I can do anything through hard work
And that I do believe
If the world was a stage,I demand a leading role
I am the master of my craft, you can’t conquer my soul
Through the arts I express myself
You can watch if you may
Today I’m going to shine Like a star bright as day
And if you try to stop me this is what I’ll say
I AM HERE TO WORK!!!
