Too Big

They said it all
You're from northern Kentucky
They're not rock stars

You wear plus sizes
You can't be a model

You're black
You can't be the president

Step outside into the cold air
It's like a smack in the face
That you deserved

Was it fear that kept you going
The need to never be wrong
Isn't it worse
When you're defeated

Stop
Your heart says one thing
But your mouth says another

This is your last chess piece
We all have a secret
We all have dreams

So stop being afraid
Let the dreams free
Unlock the gates

You've put us down
But I'll still welcome you

Don't be afraid to dream
No dreams are too big
