How Can I&;#063;

How Can I
How can I be, what I want to be
If people drill me with their eyes
How can I be what I want to be
With society's mistakes, facades and lies
How can I say what I want to say
If people turn the other way
How can I say what I want to say
If listening ears are unwilling to hear
How can I live like I want to live
If houses are built with weak foundations
How can I live like I want to live
When the world is packed with discrimination
How can I smile the way I smile
If nothing else remains but strife
How can I laugh just for a while
If there's plenty to put me down through life.
