I wanna be known,
Known like the back of your hand,
Known like the beach knows the sand,
Known like when sparks fly,
Know like the stars in the sky,
I wanna be known.

Not known for my looks,
Or my brain and what I learn in books,
I wanna be known for me,
Known like the fish know the sea,
Known like your favorite color,
Known like no other.
I wanna be known.

Known for my smile,
Known for my style,
Known the ABC's,
Known like the birds and bee's,
I wanna be known.

Known like night and day,
Known like the month of May,
Known like time,
Known like the value of a dime,
I wanna be known.

Known like Martin Luther King,
Known like England's Queen,
Known like Rosa Parks,
Known like fireflies know the dark,
I wanna be known.

So you get what i'm saying,
I'm honestly not playing,
Understand where i'm coming from,
I dont care if i sound dumb,
I wanna be known,
Known for me.

I dont let feelings show,
I just let stuff go,
But i still wish,
That I was Known...

In the end, everything is okay. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

You know, sometimes the way you rhyme, not only sounds good, but makes so much sense. That's a good poet right there. I love the fireflies analogy, it's nice and deep :)
