How can I be what I must be? What do they expect of me? I keep trying, so why can't I find in my mind How to be what you were? I never got to hear your plan Never got to hold your hand Though you're with me, I know, sometimes I feel alone Am I strong enough to Be what you were, with my own worth? How can I protect our Earth? Love your face on the wall But it makes me feel small When compared to your life There's so much that I still don't know Why do they shelter me? I'm scared, but if I'm gonna grow They've got to tell me eventually If I learn, will it make me strong? Or will I freeze with fear? Not human, but not just a gem Sure would be nice to know why I'm here In the legacy you left Guess my destiny is set With the Earth in our hands, with my family I'll stand Fighting in your honor I hear them cry sometimes at night And I know they miss your light And it hurts me because if my life never was They might not be so sad Still, since I'm here, I might as well Do my best, 'cause they can tell Even though I'm just me, I'll succeed And they'll see I can be what you were Oh
