A single picture can mean a thousand words said.
We promise never to forget those words.
But as time falls forward,
We lose them in the fire.

Hundreds of friends I have forgotten.
Only 21 I can recall.
Twelve from around the world,
Nine are as close as my hands are.

I've fixed broken hearts.
I've shattered worlds, too.
But I cannot tell you the love I feel,
For those who have healed me when I was burned.
Or lifted me up when I needed help.
When I was as free as a bird.
And when I was chained like a slave,
I had them to keep me fighting for my freedom.

I watched time wash by like the ocean drags my footprints away.
I saw it slow down to a time when it almost went still.
I had seen a miracle or two in that time,
But nothing more special than what I cannot see that is to come in the future.
I don't want to become rich.
I don't want to have a destiny that was written for me.
All I want is to be me,
All I need to find my home,
And when I set out into the world,
I want to tell my story to people who are the same as me.

But who isn't the same as me?
We're all just kids who have the same heart.
We're all just kids who won't give up a dream.
