If one day I were just not here, If I were just to disappear Would you notice that I'm gone? My friends might ask, where is she? And start a earnest search for me But would you notice that I'm gone? If suddenly I showed up dead 'cause I was murdered in my bed, Would you notice that I'm gone? My family might mourn my loss Swear to avenge me at all cost, But would you notice that I'm gone? While those who loved me in this life were set upon by grief and strife Would you notice that I'm gone? With other people asking "Why?" Saying: "She's too young to die." Would you notice that I'm gone?

When the world says you can't And chances do seem slim Don't listen to their chant Their view is much too dim When your spirit is discouraged and your hope is almost gone and you need to feel encouraged by the light of another dawn When impossible's the word that every person shouts And that whisper can't be heard that dispels all those doubts Ask, Did Edison stop trying, At the word impossible? He knew that they were lying, Anything is possible. A hundred years ago they would have seen it as insane Sending pictures through the air would be met with disdain. A laptop computer? You cannot be serious. A cellular phone? You must be delirious. You cannot see a baby inside of the womb And everyone knows we can't get to the moon. A man cannot fly, that is just for the birds. "Do not even try" are discouraging words. So don't you listen to anyone Who says it just cannot be done
