Analysis of I Am A.B.L.E.



So they say that I am A.B.L.E.
And capable of so much more
They say I have to believe,
Like I never believed before.

To some this seems so painful,
'Cause believing comes from within.
 Doubtful at times and unconvinced,
 I guess I'll try it again.

Believe in myself for what?
 The hard life left me a spare.
 Seeing this took some patience.
 I know patience at times is rare.

Given the chance, we all are A.B.L.E.
 to live out our biggest dreams.
 So, child, believe in yourself,
 When nothing is as it seems.

Know that the moon can be touched,
 And the stars are just a wish away.
 With some hard work, sweat, and tears.
 Your future comes alive today.

So now I know I am A.B.L.E.
 And capable of so much more.
 I say I do BELIEVE
In myself unlike before.
