I Know
I know what it is like
to wake up in my bed.
to wonder what new horrors
I will face in the day ahead
to see a world against me
as I struggle to be free
to have no chance of happiness
that people have a right to be
I know what it is like
to hope for something more
to wake up with a smile
in a world that I'm not sore
to be with those I love
people near and people far
to enjoy the sky above
and wipe away the scars
I know what it is like
to see opportunity slip on by
to grasp for what I want
for my dreams to be only nigh
to see my hopes and fears
laid bare before my eyes
shattered by those I hold dear
through treachery and lies
I know what it is like
to finally have my dream
my hopes of loving family
so much dear than it would seem
to have as my reality
to have loved ones next to me
to have a loyal family
and to know that I am free
