DO YOU


Do you ever look at yourself and think 

I'm beautiful 

do you? 

I want to know if you ever cry yourself to sleep

So many tears you turn over your pillow

     it's too damp 

do you?

Do you ever look at another human being and wish

Wish that you had a new life 

a different life

do you? 

It's O.K.

if you do

because I do too

and yet I still love you 

and I'm still loved

and the world

The world keeps going regardless of what we do 

you know that 

do you?

And so I want you to try 

Try to change

    Do you? 

Into 

DO YOU
