Your words mean a lot to me,
They make the whole world see.

I hope I grow to be like you.

A nonstop trial to all who dared,
You were the only one who cared.

To make me the exact same way.
To show me how to be like you,
And tell me exactly what to do.
But now I know just what to do,
Because I am I'm just like you.
