Circle of Life
Put forth all your effort into everything you do.
For if you keep on pushing, they won't give up on you.
Smile all throughout the day and keep your head held high.
Never show how much you hurt and never let them see you cry.
Rumors of your "struggle" will spread, and most of them will be lies.
But people will believe what they want and will believe it until they die.
Since you know that they're all waiting just to see you fall,
Prepare to be surrounded with your back against the wall.
You'll learn you can only change for yourself, and to yourself you must stay true.
You should try to avoid negative remarks from people who can't love you for you.
Life is what you make it, and you should make it your own.
Just don't forget to forgive or you'll go through most of life alone.
