If I had any words to offer you
They would be to tell you to be someone
Be someone you can be proud of -- never hang your head in shame.
Be someone you can live with -- make choices you won’t regret.
Be someone you like -- if you can’t stand yourself, no one else will either.
Be someone you can face in the mirror -- Your reflection tells your real story.
Life isn’t made in the fame or the fortune.
That’s simply worldly treasures that can break a man.
It’s made in the trenches.
It’s made in the victory of the battle not the winning.
It’s made in standing strong when the waters swirl about you.
It’s made in the moments of quiet defiance,
and the resounding roar of the masses crying out for justice.
It doesn’t matter what you are, but it matters who you are --
So be someone
Be someone others can look up to
Be someone kind
Be someone forgiving
Be someone loving
Be someone remembered.
