I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,

and that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so shallow.

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,

I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

and move yourself at the same

Fill your life with love and bravery,
and you shall live a life uncommon.

If that doesn't happen, none of this is worth it.

The things you fear are undefeatable,
not by their nature, but by your approach.

You have to realize: OK, I don't know how
to solve a political problem,

I need to figure out how to be happy...
and I'm willing.
