Muster all your courage
Look yourself in the eye
Know you’ll do more than try
To love yourself
Because this is your job
It must come from inside
And Spirit will provide
The strength you need

Heed the soul’s call within
To seek your harbor safe
In your choices, have faith
Then you’ll be home

Be gentle with yourself
You do the best you can
You’ll find your greatest fan
Is your own life
You were born with the strength
There may be times you’ll cry
Shake your head, wonder why
Feeling you’re weak
Oh, quite the contrary
Your tears are not a flaw
They show you’ve courage raw
To just show up
