A gust of Tenacity

Some people always underestimate me

Never see me get serious

Some people refuse to see

That even I can let it all out

They always expect me to only reach so far

They don’t stop to see The “me” that I feel inside

Bursting with resolve, a wish To do my best

Chorus:

Don’t take me lightly

Don’t think you’ve seen it all

I’m handicapped, not weak,

Yet you seem to see no difference

I want to show you my potential

I want to show you what I can do

I want to break free from all the prejudice

I want to open your eyes

It’s not only me out there,

Who feels this way

See the difference; don’t let my legs fool you

I’ll block off your pathetic pity

Because don’t you go telling me that that’s me

Don’t take me lightly

Chorus)

Don’t take me lightly

Don’t think you’ve seen it all

I’m handicapped, not weak,

Yet you seem to see no difference

I want to show you my potential

I want to let my energy out

Just say the word;

I’ll blast it out at you

Like a gust of tenacity

I’ll break free from all that ridiculousness

Do not deny me the right to do my best

I’ll tell you straight in the face

Like a gust of tenacity

I’ll open your eyes to the difference

It’s not just me out there, who feels this way

(Chorus)

Please don’t take me lightly

Don’t think you’ve seen it all

I’m handicapped, not weak,

Yet you seem to see no difference

I want to show you my potential

I want to always soar higher, regardless of my condition

Don’t try to make me change my mind

This is my decision

Like a gust of tenacity

I’ll soar higher and higher

I’ll make you see that handicaps don’t matter:

I too can do it

I want you to stop feeling pity

Like a gust of tenacity,

I’ll make you see

(Chorus)

Please don’t take me lightly

Don’t think you’ve seen it all

I’m handicapped, not weak,

Yet you seem to see no difference

I want to show you my potential
