The Voice Inside

Don't listen to the negative voices.
Don't let them decide all your choices.
Be the person who turns the other cheek
don't cry and let them know you're weak.

Getting the best of you is their game.
They look at you as if you aren't the same.
Listen to that little voice inside you.
Let that voice inside guide you towards the dreams you need.
Let that voice inside be the blood you bleed.
Carry yourself like you're the only one there,
as the words they say pass through your ears.

Don't let people bring you down, prevail and win.
You're the only one standing the firm ground.
It's your mission, so you tell when it begins.
That little voice inside is your guide through your life.

And, as that dream expands, you do too.
That little voice inside takes an important role in carrying you.
As a favor, let's dream and make reality leave those negative
people in their own jealous fantasy.
