The World says I have no ambition,
      Yet I hope, I dream.
 The World says I'm not intelligent,
      Yet I believe I am.
 The World says i won't succeed,
      Yet I know I will.
 The World says my thoughts aren't important,
      Yet I know they are.
 The World says my voice won't be heard,
      Yet I know someone will.
 The World says I can't live without money,
      Yet I know I could.
 The World says I need many friends,
      Yet I only need some.
 The World says my Savior is dead,
      Yet I know he lives.
 The World says many things,
      Yet I don't listen.
