I learnt quite early in life
To never stand under trees when the rain falls
For on your head a branch may just fall
I learnt quite early in life
The stars only twinkle in the darkness
So if it wasn't dark, It wouldn't shine
I learnt quite early in life
The Santa Claus didn't exist
That elf's and tooth fairies were all myths
I learnt quite early in life
That I wasn't perfect
And hiding in my shell was the only way I could survive
To be safe and never fall of a cliff
for you see...
I was never proud of me.
From the way I talked,
To the way I stood
To the way I looked
I wasn't even good at laughing.
I was far from normal.
I was shy
Timid
Standing behind a microphone
would only have happened in my dreams
I had dreams to be a star
To make people smile.
Be the reason that they laugh
And I always wish I kept sleeping
for day dreaming was my only way
my dreams could stay alive.
I didn't want to wake to reality
Awake to the fact that my self esteem was low
I felt like a bread without a dough
A star without a glow
I felt like life is short and time is tickling
So live right and make every second count.
And the best time to start is NOW
