THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
we're all afraid of rejection
but what good does hiding do?
staying alone's not protection
it's just being afraid of you
we're all afraid of failure
but what good does not trying do?
doing nothing makes you your own jailer
bored with the things you don't do
so look at yourself
and don't run away
decide what you want
go for it today
no matter what happens
your dream will survive
it you dare to face it
and keep it alive
only you can break it down
you decide what you will do
be a fool or be a clown
only you can defeat you
so look in your heart
and see what you find
it is your best part
don't leave it behind
no matter what happens
be real and be kind
and true to yourself
that is peace of mind
I'll go on reaching out
that's what life's all about
no matter what happens
I must not forget
I'm not dead yet
so I am afraid
and not always sure
but I will not defeat myself
by closing my door
I'll go on reaching out
beyond all fear or doubt
no matter what happens
I must remember why I'm here
and I will share
because I care
No Matter What Happens
