LESSON

People say nothing’s quite the same
So don’t be held down by doubt and shame
There’s nothing left to fear
Don’t listen to what you hear

Just decide to make a change
Not influenced by the deranged
Who fight to rearrange
Your future in exchange

So figure out who you ‘ll be
It’s time to be set free
Let no one claim to be
Your teacher who always holds the key

It’s time to think things through
form an image that is true
Learn from past mistakes,
lessons you won’t retake

There’s nothing that’s too hard,
your turning things around
And in your trials there is relief
In what you have achieved
