Whats Within You?


Life, it goes up and down

The future has many possibilities, they are all around

Why don’t you look inside you?

You can do whatever you put your mind to

 

You feel like you’re not going anywhere fast

Things seem glum, things seem sad

Always losing, always last

Don’t know what to do or where to go, you’ve gone mad

 

It might feel like you’ve taken one step forward, and three steps back

You believe the odds are against you, and they are vastly stacked

You question your abilities, and the talents you think you lack

But don’t worry, your family and friends have your back

 

Live your life, you only have one

Show all the doubters that you are far from done

The pain and struggles of today make you feel much sorrow

But it will sharpen you like a knife, making you much stronger for tomorrow

 

We are all kings and queens

We are begging to be heard, begging to be seen

It’s important that we stay focus, don’t lose steam

We are destined for greatness, we will reach our dreams

 

So step outside, and shine like stars do

Be bright like a neon sign too

Keep your head up, I will too

Life is awesome, and it awaits you
