Both Outcasts

Student and teacher,

Both outcasts in their separate spheres.

She's impassioned,

She's hopeful,

Hopeful that change is gonna come.

Now she has not only a talent,

But a cause.

She's eager,

I appreciate that.

To her, he will open every door.

I hate to encourage her,

But what else can I do?

In fact, because of her brightness,

I'm a little hopeful too.
