RED THE POEM

ME

I can climb the highest mountain,

Sail across the wildest sea,

Now that I’ve discovered

That I’m happy to be me.

I can study mathematics,

Be a man of high degree,

Now I’ve solved the puzzle

That I’m happy to be me

I can make the finest music,

Write a book of poetry,

Now I’ve learned the lesson

That I’m happy to be me.

I can do the things

I dreamed of,

Live a life that’s great and free,

How I’ve found the secret

That I’m happy to be me.

John Edwards

Listen to the song and speak about the problem the song deals with. Have you or some of your friends got the same problem ?

THEY MADE ME

When I was young, they made me eat,

And didn’t let me choose.

They made me eat what was ‘good for me’

And forced me to wear shoes.

When I was six they made me learn

All kinds of things I never got my way.

When I was twelve, they made me say

That I’d be home by eight.

Yes, they allowed me to go out –

But not to come home late.

When I left school, they made me work;

I slogged six days a week.

They forced me to wear overalls –

And gumboots on my feet.

They made me sweep the factory floor;

They made me make the tea.

And when they wanted something done,

They used to shout for me.

Now ‘make’ and ‘force’ are words I hate,

But I like ‘let’ and ‘allow’.

And now I’m forced to end this song.

I really don’t know how …
