I can slap a smile on my face
When life calls for tears

I can dance in a storm
When lightning awakens my fears

I can be strong
When I honestly feel too weak

I can climb a mountain
When a blizzard blows from the peak

I can look ahead
When you turn my back

I’ll kill you with kindness
When your words attack

I can take to the sky
When you steal my wings

I can play you a song
When you cut my strings

I can write you a novel
When you tie my hands
I can be so tall
When you refuse I stand

I can look to the heavens
When you put me through Hell

I can stay above the surface
When the oceans waves swell

I can get rivers to flow
When you stop them with a dam

I can tell you without speaking words
When you ask me who I am
