I write because I'm confused
and seek to understand
I sing because I'm alone
and reach to take a hand
I wonder because I'm curious
and feel I should know why
I hurt because I'm human
and this is why I cry
I laugh because I'm joyful
and this seems right to do
I love because you're special
and pray you love too
I live because of these things
I find in every day
They tell me just what life's about
and listen what you say
To laugh, love, live,sing, oh yes
even to cry
These simple gifts of freedom
I will treasure till I die
