Biography series: Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart 
by Joel Howard
Inspired by her life and contributions

A little girl once
A "little" girl no more
I rode a plane once
I rode a plane around the world
I rode it fiercely 
I rode it without restraint
For the women who
Would all ride in my train

I had a dream last night
The scoffers who said
I would never take to flight
If I had listened now to them
I would never have looked up again!

I guess some things you do
Not so people can see you
Some things you do
Cause you have to!

Change doesn't come without sweat
I always said I wasn't the best
But was the best hard worker yet!
Change doesn't surround the ones who wait
Until all the surveys say you will be great!

I guess some things you do
Not so people will see you
Some things you do
Cause you were born to!

This one's for the ones 
This one's for the ones
Who never could!
This one's for the ones
This one's for the ones
Who never "should"

Some things you do
Cause you have to...
