Find Peace and Give it To Within

 

How many times have I asked this of you?

And you remain ignorant and unsupportive

When are you going to come out and play?

When there are seconds left in your game

 

Who are you?

You are amazing, gentle and kind

You care deeply for those around you

Be more nurturing to the one

 

Be kinder to your own heart

Be alright to be who you are

Find your place on your team

Find peace and give it to within

 

No one ever told you how to get on the easy road

Therefore you have always been on hard to live mode

Find a way just to be

Before your game is over

And

Your time counter will wind down to zero

Find a way to believe in who you are

Tell the tale of success and admiration

Even though you may not succeed

 

Find peace and give it to within
