We can all live and just be
Who we are meant to be in life.
Allowing love to set us free,
Rather than giving into strife.
There's always space up above
For every willing bird to fly.
The heavens never have enough
Shining stars to fill the sky.
Without tearing others down,
We sure can build ourselves up.
Without dragging them to the ground,
We all can climb to the top.
Why make this life a contest,
To always compare and compete?
When we are truly at our best,
Lifting up those that we meet.
Let's strive for the best we can be,
Helping each other along the line.
The sky is vast for you and me,
And together, we all can shine.
Coexisting Peacefully
We Can All Shine
