Met a stranger under a tree in an old park
She stopped to notice my sketch book
and asked, "What do you draw?"
I set down my pencil and looked up
a smile came to my face as I answered
I said
Stuff from my heart
Goes with my soul
Shows full emotion
and where I wanna go
That stranger laughed a little
Dared to say I had no taste
How did she know?
She wasn't me
maybe she was jeolous of my big dreams
I said
Open spaces of Alaska
Tall buildings of Japan
Clean oceans of Australia
and the sweet smell of coffee in France
More laughing and ridicule
I just shrugged and went back
Sketching away at my paper
Knowing I'll get somewhere in life
because that's who I am.
