Only You Know You

When young the world is so clean
And people seemed so good and not too mean
As you grow the circle of life needs to be done
When you will have adventures to be won

Older times will creep up on you
Even if you aren’t ready or know what to do
Hold yourself high and thrust you chin out
For you are the only one who knows what you are about.
