Whatever you do.
Do it with faith.
Do it with conviction.
Don’t listen to the mealy mouths
Borne from shoulders’ chips
Don’t listen to the voices within, without
Borne from fears and expectations
Set your course
Straight and true.
Don’t look back.
Hoist your flag.
Fix your eye
Upon the enchanting horizon
And when you’re blue
Remember.
You always have you.
And the next time someone
Rains on your parade
Smile at their grimace
Steady your heart
Walk your way.
And when the voices gnaw
Cut you to the core
Brandish your sword
Cut them free
Strike upon a path of liberty.
And whatever anybody says
Love, in all its many forms
Is not simply a flight of fancy
It is, beyond doubt,
The reality.
Sing your song
Dance your path.
Do it with faith.
Do it with conviction.
Don’t listen to the mealy mouths
Borne from shoulders’ chips
Don’t listen to the voices within, without
Borne from fears and expectations
Set your course
Straight and true.
Don’t look back.
Hoist your flag.
Fix your eye
Upon the enchanting horizon
And when you’re blue
Remember.
You always have you.
And the next time someone
Rains on your parade
Smile at their grimace
Steady your heart
Walk your way.
And when the voices gnaw
Cut you to the core
Brandish your sword
Cut them free
Strike upon a path of liberty.
And whatever anybody says
Love, in all its many forms
Is not simply a flight of fancy
It is, beyond doubt,
The reality.
Sing your song
Dance your path.
