Why Not

Why not choose to be the leader, the queen or the king
Why not choose to dance, to pray nor to sing
Why not choose to be the first to love with all your heart
Why not choose to work hard from the very start
Why not choose to always give it your All
Why not choose to walk and stand like you’re 10 feet tall
Why not stand for what you know is right
Why not suffer through the struggle to win the fight
Is it because of fear that we avoid our dreams 
Missing out on life not even trying to redeem
Did you know we are here to inherit the earth
Then WHY would you choose less than your worth?
