Listen to me as I say

Life is unfair in a way,

Listen to me as I tell

People will not always mean you well.


Listen to me as I explain

People will give advice where you don't gain, 

Listen to my words

And let them simmer in your worlds.


Listen to me as I confess

People will express love and yet regret,

Listen to me as I declare

The world's your oyster,

So get out and play!


Listen to me as I announce

There's a lot of goodness profound.

Sailing through the choppy waters of the hearts 

Let the kindness sail through every part.


 Listen to me as I instruct 

People will construct and destruct,

Never let their mindset sway

This is your life,

Learn–not to be afraid.


Listen to your heart-- Always

It is the one thing that,

Only beats for you

So love yourself anyway, 

It's the best thing to do.
