None can be another you

Don’t wait to be won by this world
Make your own world
with that tinkle of your eyes and ardent smile,
Make your own world
with your flickering pride and implacable shine,
For none can be another you.

Be that whiff of the wind in a wistful summer
Be that rustle of water on the quiet mountain
Be the relentless river that marches on to a rowdy ocean
Raise your soul to be unabashed
For none can be another you.

Be the one who brightens the dark,
Be the one who enlivens the dead.
Be the one to cross the fear,
Be the one to break the silence.
For none can be another you.

Be bold, be enchanting
Be brave, be unwavering
Be the one you got to be,
For none can be another you.

For those who walk away in the darkest hour-



Don't smile at me when the sky is clear
I see you look away when it's dark and blur
Don't be my friend only to cheer
Losing you was never my deepest fear
I'd rather fall a hundred times
Than to stand back up with you
If I know for that hundredth time
You were the one who turned me blue
You'll still have my back I promise
The day you face the wall
'Cause I never stood by you
Just to watch you fall...
