Do talk and do think
And don't compromise

Don't worry, don't fall pray
Never let them justify

Be all and know all
And learn everyday

Don't stop and don't quit
And never give up

Fight back and defend
And know who you are

Stay humble, stay strong
Don't bend at their will

Update and respect
And take time to resolve

Love hard, play fair
Surrender to change

Understand and depend
And lean on your friends

Treat well and give space
And teach what you know

Listen and develop
And go with the flow

Protect and redirect
Until everyone knows

You are honest
And faithful
And don't tolerate hate

You're funny
And friendly
And dislike unkind debate

You love freely
Hurt strongly
Understand pain

Smile widely
Stave of death defiantly
Cannot stand fate

You build deftly
Create freedom
And pave your own way

You create your own god
Fresh from your skin
You peel back the suffering
And come out ready to win

You take it all but give back just as plenty
You do unto others as you'd have done to you
But you don't need a good book to tell that to you
You feed your power from its source and then right back through
Untold energy of a cosmic being just like you

You'll live and you'll die and I'm sure I will too
So there may be nothing after
Organic death
But certainly there will be more people like me and you

And if nothing else thats enough to be happy for us

Be us not greedy
Or rude
Or full of spite

Be us not ruthless
And angry
And dish out our might

Be us peaceful
And hopeful
And shine out our light

We are all in some distant way
A wonderful being born of starlight
