DREAM ON

M A R T H A C R O W

I am extraordinary and I shineWhen I go, the light goes with meI never lied to you or hid what I wasIt’s God’s fault that I am not perfectThis is how you treat somebodyWho has always been a friend?

You don’t really know who I amYou have no idea who I really am insideMy canyons of marvel stretch foreverAnd so does the river of life that carves themUnder my lush green valleysMy unexplored treasure caves wait fordiscovery

To touch me is to touch divinityTo see me is to see beautyTo hold me is wonderfulTo talk with me is enlighteningTo live with me is a privilege

There is only one MeThat’s why they call me DivaYou will never find a flowerSweeter or more intoxicatingThan the aphrodisiac blossom of my spiritSo sweet that the angels lust for it

And you think you can get better than me?Dream on, asshole
