Had to learn life’s not fair
play by unjust rules or lose
you’ll see they set you up
just to tear you down
remember to give
what you want to receive
some things can’t be manipulated
try as we may
there really is a thing called fate
destiny, if you believe
the universe is not under our control
take a minute to think about it
the moon revolves around us
sun forever shines, birds always chirp
summer comes, winter goes
trees bud every spring
it rains when heaven declares it so
nothing we can do to stop it
If we could just trust in the Universe’s laws
the world keeps turning but we don’t fall
plant a seed deep in the ground, nurture it
watch it grow into a mighty tree
if we would just believe
we were born with all we need
it’s hard when we see injustice
every day trying our dignity
ultimately you are in control
of what you plant in your soul
nurture goodness, peace, love
watch it grow inside your soul
Tell haters go ahead hate me
because I held onto what I believed
I didn’t let you plant negativity in me
I became responsible, made good choices
held on steadfastly to the belief
what I put out there is what I’ll receive
