Just Like You, I'm Just Like Me:

Just Like You, I'm Like Me:

I wish I could tell you how I feel.
It’s only best to say that my
mind is like a spinning wheel.
Lots of ideas, and thoughts I find to deal.

I find I’m an ordinary gal
Just like you, I’m just like me.
I’m trying to find just the right key,
So it will help set me free.

I was born with many talents you see.
Just like yours, I’ve got mine
I may not be able to write a chorus line,
Or help you with your back spine,
But I sure can shine.
Because what shows inside
Is more then what’s on the front line.

Most days I want to spread my wings and fly,
Other days I’m weighed down, and just want to cry.
Then there are days I ask myself why,
Most days,
Just like you,
I try.
With help from family, friends, and above,
I realize that I, too,
Can climb the mountain high
That will one day reach the sky.

Because even though I’m not superman,
I realized that before my life began,
That just like you, I’d have my own fans.
So with the wingspan of a dove,
Filled with compassion and love,
I’ll spread my wings and fly
With the gift I was given from above.
