You do not need fear- to feel more alive You don't need those friends who make you break up inside You don't need a gold ring- to affirm your devotion You don't need a great river- to create a deep ocean You do not need hate- to make yourself strong You needn't always be right blaming others is wrong You don't need to feel pain- to display concern Overcoming deep loss- becomes a great wisdom earned Do believe that you're able to realize your dreams Do look in the mirror and embrace the one you see Do fall in love, maybe have a child or two Remember its our children who make us young again too I don't want to hear "NO"- when I hardly ever hear "yes" I don't need to hurt others- to get things off my chest I don't need to hear "CAN'T"- when I know that I can And I need not fight wars- to claim rule of safe land Do believe you're able to realize your dreams Do look in the mirror and embrace the one you see Do fall deep in love, maybe have a child or two Remember through our children we become as children do You don't need to be like the others- you don't need to fit the mould Stand your ground. Speak your truth with what beliefs that you may hold Do always walk with pride, let your golden heart shine Reach out to those who's lives have not seen a world thats kind You don't have to laugh- and pretend you're never down You say you feel like a joke and yet you still play the party clown Never give in to those who may question your faith Storms may cause destruction but their wind brings change of fate Do believe you're able to realize your dreams Do look in the mirror and embrace the person you see Do fall in love, maybe have a child or two Remember through children we feel young again too You don't need to be like the others- you don't need to fit the mould Stand your ground. Speak your truth with what beliefs you may still hold Do always walk with pride, let your golden heart shine Reach out to those who's lives have not seen a world thats kindAll Rights Reserved
