What we give we receive
what we think we become
what we choose chooses us
what we learn will grow
what will fall will rise
what will rise will fall
what chooses us we can choose
what we become is what we think
what we receive is not always what we give

so live life anyway
smile more often
care to be kind
show love for another
say thank you

for life is but one
to live fully
love openly
forgive quickly
create differently

there is no need to regret
no room to fret
what would have, could have, should have
in the stand of a lonely road
are you really lonely when you are alone?

Did you find the person inside?
or did you buy to the entity of what was told
what was said should fill your soul

did you listen to the words that broke you
did you embrace a world full of thorns

NO, not me, I won’t
I refuse to be sworn
into the abyss of no tomorrows
into the consciousness of pain and sorrow
into the limits of time lost
into the insults and trials past
into the corrosion of minds and souls
into the illusion of darkness as light
into the shaming of bodies and minds

NO, not me, I won’t

What we give we receive
what we think we become
what we choose chooses us
what we learn will grow
what will fall will rise
what will rise will fall
what chooses us we can choose
what we become is what we think
what we receive is not always what we give

but you see life goes on
and if you take a step further
beyond given limits and scorn
you may find the light that is alive
already within your soul

life is to short
not to care, to love, to be kind, ignore lack of worth, not to heal, to live, be vibrant, be happy, love your family, care for your neighbor, text someone they matter, kiss your parents, hug your sons and daughters, create your future

and realize, you are enough

What we give we receive
what we think we become
what we choose chooses us
what we learn will grow
what will fall will rise
what will rise will fall
what chooses us we can choose
what we become is what we think
what we receive is not always what we give
what we….
