Be the Inspiration


Bad things will happen

Time and time again

But all that will matter

Is how you endure

Hold your head high

And smile as you lie

As you tell one more person

"I promise I'm fine"

When fallen warriors are always near

You begin to listen to the words

You once refused to hear

Cry for the living

And repent as they sing

One more stupid rap song

About  a woman with no ring

See the wrong and do the right

Always be ready to tackle the fight

Be the change you hope to see

Work with each other until you agree

Without a team, there is no hope

Without hope, it's hard to cope

Driving our youth to look fear in the eye

While parents are hiding as they begin to cry

Until the day you are the difference

Don't you dare complain about this world's belligerence
