When You Compete With No One

Follow your heart, to thyself be true do not fear the coming of the day when you compete with no one, no one can compete with you See the gray as gray, the blue as blue your eyes are your greatest gift, don’t let them slip away follow your heart, to thyself be true Men will argue, women will croon but in your mind the decision will be made when you compete with no one, no one can compete with you Ghosts from without and from within will try to spook you but you need never feel afraid follow your heart, to thyself be true Strangers try to hold you down and keep you to the rules but it does not matter what they have to say! When you compete with no one, no one compete with you You are the maestro, call the tune and your symphony you shall hear the whole world play follow your heart, to thyself be true when you compete with no one, no one can compete with you.
