Lift your voice
and sing out loud
as you perform on
the stage of life
for you’ll get through the rain
just hold that note
and don’t be afraid
for you’re a rock star
the world is waiting
for you
with good
mental health you can sing
you’re in harmony with
your friends they’ll see
the change in you
human nature is a
chorus of love
it awaits you
with a new song you
are awakened
the crowd
they clap their hands
your dulcet tones
restore your inner light
yesterday you were at the bottom
of the charts but now you’re
flying high
you’ve done it your way
and you’re the one and only
with fresh lyrics
inside your head you’re
feeling back on track
and all you have to do
is sing.
