Be More You
This New Year
choose honesty
choose to love
who you can be

Don’t believe
you’re not all that
just because
your tum's not flat

This New Year
see what you’ve got
Build on that
Not what you’re not

Don’t believe
you’re wrong or strange
or to fit
you have to change

This New Year
Chin up, chest out
Recapture
what you’re all about

Don’t believe
that you have failed
just because
some ships have sailed

If last year
was quite a quest
Take a bow
You passed the test

Do believe
your day is here
Don’t defer
another year

This New year
forget the vows
Concentrate
on Here and Now

This New Year
in all you do
do all it takes
to be more you
