I wanna be...

"I wanna be better than oxygen,
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees.
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin,
For all the kids who think that they've got a disease.
I wanna be cooler than TV,
For all the kids that are wondering what they're going to be...

I wanna see through all the lies of society,
To the reality, happiness is at stake.
I wanna hold up my head with dignity,
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take.
I wanna live beyond the modern mentality,
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create..."

- lyrics from 'Oxygen' by Willy Mason, one of my favourite songs, and one whose lyrics never cease to be relevant...
