ENGLISH IS MY CUP OF TEA

I am a young girl who loves gymnastics
I wonder if one day I will be one of the best gymnasts
I hear the sound of applause
I see my name at the top of the rankings
I want to be a champion
I am a young girl who loves gymnastics.

I pretend I can fly when I do flips
I feel all my muscles pulling my body to the sky
I touch the clouds
I worry about not having strength
I crty when I do not do things well
I am a young girl who loves gymnastics.

I understand that it is not easy
I say that I can do it
I dream of the day when I achieve my goals
I try hard not to fail
I hope I can do it
I am a young girl who loves gymnastics.

I am a curious guy who likes freedom
I wonder what the Humanity's destiny is
I hear noise where thye others heard nothing
I see me flying up through the sky
I want to have a job which satisfies me
I am a curious guy who likes freedom.

I pretend to be a successful student
I feel the pressure of "each one on his own"
I touch someone with my own hands
I worry about the future of all that we know
I cry for those who are victims of life circumstances
Like poverty, discrimination and injustice
I am a curious guy who likes freedom

I am sharp and focused
I wonder what the camera really sees
I hear the buzzing bee
I see flowers in the early morning light
I want to stop time in a box
I am sharp and focused

I pretend to be a statue
I feel the shakes inside
I touch the shutter button
I worry about ther blurry result
I cry that the moment has forever gone
I am sharp and focused

I understand moments in time
I say let's freeze them forever
I dream of watercolor effects coming to life
I try to see all the soft muted edges
I hope it happens someday
I am sharp and focused

I am a happy, singing boy
I wonder why the world is like this
I hear people littering, cars moving
I see forests turned into smokey litter mountains
I want the planet to be clean and pure like before
I am a happy, singing boy.

I pretend all this isn't true
I feel the warm wind from the sea
I touch the white sand on the beach
I worry that humans will destroy all this
I cry when I hear animals dying
I am a happy, singing boy
.

I understand money leads to blindness
I say we must change our attitude
I dream of trees and animals again
I try not to contribute to global warming
I hope people try this with me
I am a happy, singing boy.

I am a tall, believing boy
I wonder how heaven will be like
I hear angels singing
I see wonderful clouds
I want to lie on them
I am a tall, believing boy.

I pretend to go to heaven
I feel the warm wind on my face
I touch the clouds
I worry that I will never live that
I cry when I think about it
I am a tall, believing boy.

I understand that this is just a dream
I say that we must dream
I dream about spending my eternity there
I try to believe that
I hope that someday I'll live my dream
I am a tall, believing boy.

I am smart and curious
I wonder I am walking on the moon
I hear my steps on the moon
I see a 20 on a maths test
I am smart and curious.

I pretend to go to the moon
I feel great about being on the moon
I touch the sun
I worry about pain
I cry because I know I'll never be on the moon
I am smart and curious.

I understand I'll never go to the moon
I say I want to go there
I dream to be on the moon
I try to go there
I hope my mother let me go to the moon
I am smart and curious.
