Listen to the power of sound
While on the lifelong journey
Towards becoming found,
And develop a purpose
For being here on Earth
Along with the formation
Of a special sense of worth,
And have an attitude full of gratitude
For the miracle of birth,
And understand how being alive
Is only temporary,
So dare to live with authenticity
As a way to offer hope
For all of humanity,
And create a way to appreciate
The nature of the human identity
Every day and every night
Without the fear
Of vanishing out of sight,
And ultimately become
A source of hopeful light
To shine as bright as a star
That would illuminate the night,
All of which could truly happen
By simply doing anything right
