After All Is Said and All Is Done
After all is said and all is done

After all is said and all is done,
can you face the truth?
Can you accept that you're a superstar
with nothing to lose?
Don't let your friends and family
hold you back from your dreams;
Don't let anyone get between you
and your self esteem.
After all is said and all is done,
can you make a choice?
Can you stand up for what you believe
and have conviction in your voice?
Don't let people or the media
skew your true beliefs;
Make sure that you have a backbone
when conflict you must meet.
After all is said and all is done,
can you count on yourself?
Will you put aside those restless nights
and years of living in hell?
Don't let the demons and monsters
try to eat you alive;
Your soul is made of stardust
and you are meant to thrive.
After all is said and all is done
will you live with no regrets?
What words would suit your
tombstone or legends of your quests?
Don't let this life go by
without giving it your all;
Be thankful for every chance
that isn't granted every soul.
