Believe

Too many of us spend our lives
On the outside looking in
They’ve got us convinced that
We’re never gonna fit in
Never be a part of the elite,
Always just a misfit
They’ve got us convinced that
We’re never gonna win
Awkwardness, insecurities, diffidence -
All part of our crippling make-up
If only we could glance within and see
Superiority by birth or wealth’s
Just a figment of the imagination
Strength and conviction is what is real
So reach within and grasp,
That special inner self
Because to get where you’re going
What’s really important is that you believe…
