Do talk and do think
And don't compromiseDon't worry, don't fall pray
Never let them justifyBe all and know all
And learn everydayDon't stop and don't quit
And never give upFight back and defend
And know who you areStay humble, stay strong
Don't bend at their willUpdate and respect
And take time to resolveLove hard, play fair
Surrender to changeUnderstand and depend
And lean on your friendsTreat well and give space
And teach what you knowListen and develop
And go with the flowProtect and redirect
Until everyone knowsYou are honest
And faithful
And don't tolerate hateYou're funny
And friendly
And dislike unkind debateYou love freely
Hurt strongly
Understand painSmile widely
Stave of death defiantly
Cannot stand fateYou build deftly
Create freedom
And pave your own wayYou create your own god
Fresh from your skin
You peel back the suffering
And come out ready to winYou take it all but give back just as plenty
You do unto others as you'd have done to you
But you don't need a good book to tell that to you
You feed your power from its source and then right back through
Untold energy of a cosmic being just like youYou'll live and you'll die and I'm sure I will too
So there may be nothing after
Organic death
But certainly there will be more people like me and youAnd if nothing else thats enough to be happy for us
Be us not greedy
Or rude
Or full of spiteBe us not ruthless
And angry
And dish out our mightBe us peaceful
And hopeful
And shine out our lightWe are all in some distant way
A wonderful being born of starlight
