Just The Way You Are
You long to be thinner or moan you're not tall,
But those who are tall, they'd prefer to be small!
You yearn to be clever or wish you could sing,
Oh, why do we all want to change everything?
Whatever you say and whatever you do,
There's no other person exactly like you.
The shape of your nose and the cut of your hair,
The way that you smile and the clothes that you wear.
It's your special journey, no-one else has your life,
It's your own decisions which cause joy or strife.
It's how you react and the words that you speak,
It's you who decides to be strong or weak.
So take a good look at the best parts of you,
And see positively whatever you view.
Be thankful, be grateful and follow your star,
For you're someone special just the way that you are.
