I Am

I am a strong-willed child
I wonder why people try to hurt each other
I hear guns and bombs in a battlefield
I see children cry in the presence of war
I want it to stop
I am a strong-willed child

I pretend that everything is alright
I feel my heart beat for fighting soldiers
I touch the hearts of many
I worry that I cant help enough
I cry when the news throws deaths in my face
I am a strong-willed child

I understand that responsibilities aren't all mine
I say that there is nothing wrong with peace
I dream of a day when no one is hurt
I try not to hurt anything
I hope we can work together and stop war
I am a strong-willed child
