Life didn’t always hand me the easy road and even when it did I often worked against the grain Surrounded by my sea of good intentions at times I chose the emptiness; and settled for the pain Though I often felt alone, you saw me through and my life was changed with simple words of wisdom from you Take a stand. Take the lead. Take love and hope to a world in need. When you give your gifts away the treasures are all yours to be received In a world full of choices with dissonant voices It’s often hard to know which one to heed So listen to your heart. Take a stand and take the lead. If I could write a letter to my younger self Tell her to embrace each moment...life flies by so fast The fears you have will vanish if you give it time and mistakes you’ve made have a way of staying in the past Trust and honesty are rare commodities If you choose the right path you may walk alone But solitude with purpose beats approval of the crowd so don’t hesitate a moment when you come to that crossroad Take a stand. Take the lead. Take love and hope to a world in need. When you give your gifts away then treasures are all yours to be received In a world full of choices with dissonant voices It’s often hard to know which one to heed So listen to your heart. Take a stand and take the lead. I’ve learned that my decisions, well they’re never mine alone Every choice will have an impact on someone that I know The same is true for them, and on and on it goes So I’ll strive to make my ripple into a wave of love that grows Take a stand. Take the lead. Take love and hope to a world in need. When you give your gifts away the treasures are all yours to be received In a world full of choices with dissonant voices It’s often hard to know which one to heed So listen to your heart. Take a stand and take the lead.
Lead. Serve. Inspire the World
