The Proud Rebel

The wind must blow against the tide

The dawn of history says so

You are the reason why I sing

Emotional heartbeats flutter in rhyme

I see the roses in the yard

Blooming fabulously without hesitation

The blue skies and the mountains roar

I shall ride the wave all the way to pleasant dreams

But don't cry for me just yet

Behold the beauty of the world and its many flaws

I am wearing my naked skin

Like a prayer in the air

I am the captain who sails the wild seas

Even when things are bad

I smile anyway

I smile because I am blessed

I smile because I am free

The sun will always shine somewhere

I feel the spirit within me.
