In the midst of your rain, might you a frown?
Seeking to hurt they may bring you down.
Forget what they say! Remember it’s true!
Inside you my friend, is an amazing you!

I know you have talents that wait to convey.
Amazing is waiting to prance on its way!
Uniqueness is wrapped; deep in your mind.
Untying your will, amazing you’ll find!

We all have perceptions of what we can do.
All have a vision of what we see true.
Resisting your doubts, hold your head high!
Believe in your self, and reach for the sky!

Conceive what to do; I know you’ll go far!
Believe it my friend! You’re truly a star!
Deep in that coal; a diamond you are.
Dig through your mine; show us your shine!

Don’t wait on others; accept in your self.
Achieve with your gifts that sleep on your shelf.
It will not be easy; it will not come fast.
If only you’ll try; I’m sure you will last!
Friend will you cryeven to scream?
Amazing you’ll be as you fight for your dream!

Today is your chance will you be brave?
What hopes do you have in your heart that you save?
Step out in faith please do not wait!
Don’t you give up on your chance to be great!

Beyond what you think; past what you thought.
Regardless of life and the past you have caught.
I tell you my friend; believe in your now.
Follow your heart and then you’ll know how!

Now to those others; a sudden surprise!
Painful for them to rethink their eyes!
All those before will soon know its true!
They stand in the midst, of the amazing you!

- We all have fuel for our fires; so burn bright!
