You're not so important
That you can't be replaced.
If you leave today,
Someone will fill your space;
Cool it down.
You're not that mighty
That you cannot fall.
Sometimes what will make you trip
Is something really small;
Cool it down.
You're not that wise
To justly give into pride.
You can learn useful lessons,
Sometimes from a little child;
Cool it down.
You're not that excellent
By earning other's applause.
Same folks that shout your praise
Can still point out your flaws;
Cool it down.
Don't get so confident
To presume you're the only one.
Should you die today,
Life will simply go on;
Cool it down.
Living With Humility
Cool It Down
