One day, when the world least expects it,
I'll come out of my shell and dance.
Dance to the music of the morning,
to the joy of the afternoon and the exotic taste of the night.
You might not recognize me,
for I'll be different than I was today.
But I hope you'll smile when I kiss your hand.
The flowers will bloom, the birds will sing and a merry party shall ensue.
I sent you an invitation,
why won't you come?
Is it my dress, I know you don't like blue.
Perhaps I'll wear pink.

I accept me

When you don't know who you are,
When things seems bleak and hopeless,
There is no one who can help you on earth,
But there
