You Look

Let me speak on
What I continue to be weak on
I'm like a track you press repeat on
Put your seat belt on 
Put the car in drive 
Are they really ready for this ride 
Of real feelings
Real emotions
They deeper than the deepest ocean 
Hope you can swim 
It's transparent like the deepest film 
It's like a limb that's been broke 
Like a load to heavy to tote.
So this is what you do 
When you want to see the better version of you 

You look inside 
See what makes you smile 
Take that 
Stop slacking ,love yourself ,don't stress continue to do your best 

Life lessons 
Lessons of life 
Have we all really sacrificed
Time and money 
Money and time
And yet we still blind
Blind to the fact 
We have no value 
Take a look 
At what's around you 
Look at yourself 
Have you really found you
Pats on the back 
No need to distract
You are amazing that's a fact
Don't listen to anyone who tell you different than that 
You have a set of eyes 
And you don't see 
What you have given thee
Giving passion , giving heart 
Giving all you could from the start 
Just remember whatever you do 
Give yourself a 100%all of you 
Put yourself first
Others last 
Move forward
Let go of the past 

You look inside 
See what makes you smile 
Take that 
Stop slacking ,love yourself ,don't stress continue to do your best 

Bridge 
Take the mirror 
And look 
You are the perfect book 
An unfinished chapter
Live your life with lots of laughter and love 
Continue to keep the man above 
First ,and continue to keep your head up when it hurts 
Know your worth 

You look inside 
See what makes you smile 
Take that 
Stop slacking ,love yourself ,don't stress continue to do your best 

Repeat until chorus fades
