Self-Love
Today’s the day
I’ll be all I can be
Today’s the day
I’ll stand up for me
No more falling in the shadow trap
I’ll reach the top
And achieve my goals
I will never stop
Working as hard as I can
Sometimes long into the night
I’ll never stop trying
To do what is right
Trying to find the mountain top
Looking for the highest high
All the immature people and things
I will tell goodbye
I’ll be truly happy
I’ll see what there is to see
And I’ll never stop
Trying to be all that I can be.
