A path of love and kindness true
Today I'm green instead of blue.

In the circle of life,
Everything is contained,
But true to life,
Find your freedom within,
For within, you find you.

I’m not here for you
I am truly important
And must work toward my goals

Through this storm
In this life, there is meaning,
A good reason to be born
