You're just starting out
And soon you will find
That this world is both beautiful
And extremely unkind.
You'll run into runners who won't help at all
And you'll run into helpers
Who are there when you fall
There's two kinds of people
Present and not
And the best thing to do
Is be present a lot
Show up for the good things
As well as the bad
If you miss certain things
Those things will make you sad.
If you decide to show up
You'll be incredibly glad.
Be one of those people
Whose there all the time
No matter for who
Be a star that will shine
Help someone thru darkness
With all that you are
Are some point in your life
You'll need that kind of star.
The world will be better
If you be who you are.
The runners will run
They'll never look back
But the helpers will come
At the drop of a hat
There might be occasions
When you would rather run away
Stand your ground. Be a helper.
You might save the day.
