So I be like..
Be like the ocean, she said
It may take time, but stays warm longer
Be warm and big and selfless
And I tried a little strongerTry! And be like a tree, she said
Rising from the ground beneath
No matter how small it is
So I dug a little deeperGrow up now, be like a mountain
Stand your ground strong
Even if you stand alone
Then, I held my head higherBe like you, be always you, she said
Be a warrior, but caring and good at heart
Be what you want, be more than that
So I be like you, mother.
