Even though I’m just the tiniest part
Of humanity’s total sum,
I move my feet
To a different beat,
I hear the call of another drum;
A part of / apart from.

Dreams, they fly by fleetingly
Fading as fast as they come.
But all my hopes
Stay in scope,
I’ve got my share - and then some;
A part of / apart from.

Everyone has their own song to sing,
Their own melody to strum.
The notes I play,
The things I say
Are my trademark and only emblem.
A part of / apart from.

The grains of time fall as they will,
Death’s a perpetual pendulum.
As long as I’m alive
I will always strive
To be myself until that fateful day comes...
A part of / apart from.
