Know Your Place

It's important to Know your place in this time and space Don't look down look up at the obstacles you face Stand up strong and tall and run a good race and it doesn't even matter if you don't come in first place Believe in who you are and know that you are a winner Like the roadrunner who refuses to be anyone's dinner Keep on moving and let nothing pull you back be persistent and stay on the right side of the track Keep your head up to the sky and let the light embrace you be confident in what you do and to thine own self be true It all comes down to what you choose to make of it So make sure that you know your place and never ever quit.
