Someone once told me...

Someone once told me it's impossible,
But that didn't stop me from trying.
Someone once told me tears are for the weak,
But that didn't stop me from crying.
Someone once told me that it's no use
And yet I still reach for the stars.
Someone once told me, "Quit while you're ahead."
But why should I when I've come so far?

They say I'm a dreamer
My head's in the clouds
And wonder
How to keep me grounded.
They fear to fall
While I soar above all
And ignore
All the warnings they sounded.

Someone once told me it's dangerous here,
But that just made me want to stay.
Someone once told me this isn't for girls,
But that didn't keep me away.
Someone once told me to wait behind
And yet I still kept marching on.
Someone once told me, "You're not wanted here."
But I didn't leave I stood strong.

They say there's no hope
That I'm too far gone
And whisper
Cruel words to my back.
They all fear change
While they keep on changing
And lying
Denying that fact.

Someone once told me it's impossible,
But that didn't stop me from trying.
Someone once told me it couldn't be done,
But that didn't stop me from flying.
