Let me tell you something, young ones so bright
You should always be proud, with all your might
No matter how odd, or different you seem
You can always achieve your wildest dreams

Sometimes the path can be steep in height
But with determination, you'll reach the light
And if you feel lost, just give a nudge
To a friend or a loved one, they'll help you judge

Don't compare yourself, or try to compete
Your own unique self is what makes you complete
Measure your success by how much you've grown
And all the kindness and love you've shown

So go out there, with your head held high
Spread your wings and reach for the sky
Let your light shine, so bright and true
And know that the world is proud of you!
