So What

The naysayers are going to "nay,"
So why are you concerned with what they
think or say? 

They're just doing their job,
And some are quite good at it...
Remember you had a glorious destiny
Before they had an opinion.
So please never forget--
To forget would be tragic;
Knowing you never unleashed that God-given magic.
It was given to you,
So you must see it through.
Yes, by being true to yourself--
And no worries; you have all the help.

So...

So, what, they give you the evil eye?
Stay true and remember your "why."
So what if they launch scurrilous attacks and 
Act jealous?
It's okay because truth shines in darkness like a
waxing gibbous 
So what they throw lemons at your feet
Step on them and then pick 'em up and make
Lemonade that's cold and sweet

So.... So.... So....  What?
The stage has been set; the time is now. So strut!
