So, be.


When the world isn't what you wanted

Bow your head to the ground

Lift your face to the sky

And breathe

Not even the wisest people

Truly understand where we've been

and where we're going

So, be.

You don't have to be everything to everybody

But you can be 

Somebody

This body

If that's not enough for somebody

That's not on you, buddy.
