You Can

Lift up your head dear child
Look to your future
In life there are obstacles
Things will try to deny you

You must not faulter
You must not give in
You have brilliance inside you
It's meant to be shared

Take all of your worry
All your defeat
Turn it inside out
Use it for good

You still have many to inspire
Many lives to lead
To show that mistakes can be positive
Your journey doesn't have to end

Take all the negative
Find peace in their truths
Turn all of them positive
Make them stepping stones to use

You can do this dear child
Listen to your intuitions within
You bring any dream in to fruitation
Just keep trying, refuse to give in
