You know child of mine, it’s in your grasp,

Don’t you let it crawl away,

If you’ve got your eyes on something good, get to the task,

Don’t get talked round to quit halfway.

With all that passion, you’re future’s looking good,

Balanced with some sense and it won’t be misunderstood,

If there’s someone there to help, you help them dear,

And if you ever waver with uncertainty, don’t let the victor be the fear.

Follow what you feel inside, and kid you’ve got it figured out,

Listen to the hope-filled thoughts in your head,

And close the door on the others tryin’ to make you doubt,

Keep true to who you are, where you’ve come from,

And I’ll be the proudest that can be,

If you can live how you love, all the while happy,

You’ve made it in this life I guarantee.

It’s easy for one to talk, but hard to walk,

If you can do as you say, you’ve found the art,

Maintain those wits about you; you can’t rely on no one else,

But don’t be scared, one’s completion comes with the love for another’s heart.

 Every day you’re given, a different picture for you to paint.

You make sure to cherish what you are and not curse what you ain’t,

Mustn’t chase perfection, a non-existent destination,

Accept everyone’s got some sinner and some saint.

Follow what you feel inside, and kid you’ve got it figured out,

Listen to the hope-filled thoughts in your head,

And close the door on the others tryin’ to make you doubt,

Keep true to who you are and where you’ve come from,

And I will be the proudest that can be,

If you can live how you love, all the while happy,

You’ve made it in this life I guarantee.

Don’t be ashamed to drop a tear, it’s the stubborn mask’s removal,

A new start for you to grab hold of and a great weight off your shoulders,

Take a breath, dust yourself down; you go on and stand tall,

Show them all them you’re now bigger and bolder.

Follow what you feel inside, and kid you’ve got it figured out,

Listen to the hope-filled thoughts in your head,

And close the door on the others tryin’ to make you doubt,

Keep true to who you are and where you’ve come from,

And I will be the proudest that can be,

If you can live how you love, all the while happy,

You’ve made it in this complex life I guarantee.
