I am 1
I am
1
in a crowd of 1000
But somehow you picked me.
I am
1
in a crowd of 1000
Finger pointed firmly
For I am small,
for I am weak.
For I am
1
in a crowd of 1000
I am the one you don’t believe in,
When it came down to choosing.
You saw me,
you skipped me,
you choose not to believe in me.
But I understand why
Though I am
1
in a crowd of 1000
I am some sight to be seen
I have warrior paint across my face
But smudged from my tears
I am 1 in a crowd of 1000
I am some sight to be seen
For I am an eagle
But my wings much too small to carry me to my dreams
I am
1
in a crowd of 1000
I am some sight to be seen
I am a lion
But my mane too small for you to quiver at my roar
I am
1
crowd of 1000
Thank you for not believing
Now I must believe
If I believe then maybe you will see the changes in my appearance
For I am
1
in a crowd of 1000
I am a sight to be seen
But I am not
in the crowd
I am here,
I am there
I am at the summit of Mount Olympus
For I am
1
on top the mountain
I am a sight to be seen
I am an eagle
10 feet each wing
I now soar above you
For I am
1
on top the mountain
I am a sight to be seen
I am a lion
Mane big and strong
I now roar in your face
I am now king of this place
For I am
1
on top the mountain
I am a sight to be seen
I am a warrior
Paint smudged across my face
The smudges say I lost the battle
The smile says I won the war
I am
1
on top the mountain
For I was once
1
in a crowd of 1000
I am a sight to be seen
Once I was small
Once I was weak
But now I stand tall
But now I stand strong and proud
You sit back
Smile with surprise
For now I soar
For now I roar
For now I have now this war
For now I stand on the summit of Mount Olympus
Gold metal in my hand
Smile across my face
I turn and look at you
I told you
that
I could.
