In a world filled with hate and lust
Be a light, true happiness is a must
In a country where divided we stand
Lend those around you a helping hand

In a community left in the cold night
Be a guiding fire that leads to the light
Some will follow you, others will hate
If you're tempted, don't take the bait

In a home where others simply get by
Give your best as long as you're alive
Others will laugh, let them laugh away
You'll be the one in the spotlight one day

Never let others break your spirit or heart
You never know when the battle will start
Be as patient and kind as the day is long
But have determination powerful as a bomb

A single life can mend a broken, torn place
It only takes someone willing to take the case
If your insecurities are weakening your fight
Light up your all fears like they're dynamite
