Clap For Yourself

Clap for yourself
By Michelle Morris

You're reeling
Feeling overwhelmed and adrift
So many emotions to process
From memories that just won't quit 

You don't know up from down
You don't know if you can trust yourself
You feel like you can't trust anyone
Because they all left you to hang in hell

Hold on and remember
Please, please, try to remember
That you deserve good too
You deserve love too; so

Clap
Clap for yourself
Dance
Dance it all out
Clap
Clap for yourself
Smile
Your future is worth the hell

Clap
Clap for yourself
Sing
Sing it out for fun
Speak
Speak and be heard
Love
Love yourself first

Let down by loved ones
Let down by friends
You look around and see
No one standing there

You sit in the desert
You sit in the corner
You sit in hell's kitchen
Don't know what to order

Hold on and remember
Please, please, try to remember
That you deserve good too
You deserve love too; so

Clap
Clap for yourself
Dance
Dance it all out
Clap
Clap for yourself
Smile
Your future is worth the hell

Clap
Clap for yourself
Sing
Sing it out for fun
Speak
Speak and be heard
Love
Love yourself first

Oh, oh, oh
'Cos you deserve good too
You deserve love too
Angels are here for you
You're never alone; feel this truth

So, come on and
 
Clap
Clap for yourself
Dance
Dance it all out
Clap
Clap for yourself
Smile
Your future is worth the hell

Clap
Clap for yourself
Sing
Sing it out for fun 
Speak
Speak and be heard
Love
Love yourself first

Stand up now; you are perfect!
