Your Presence Matters

The young ones are thriving
The old ones are dying
And we’re in the middle just flailing our arms
Tryin' to hold it together
Want our lives to be better
Whose oxygen mask do we hold safe from harm?
They say you gotta put yourself first
But life as an island makes you wanna drown
Can’t neglect your own sense of self-worth
But without those who love you, you wouldn’t have your crown
Where do we go from here?
You’re more than enough
Best believe me
How do we make it clear?
When the going gets tough
Trust yourself, trust the Universe
Spread your love for all beings
That’s how your presence matters
The world keeps on turning
America is burning
We make our escapes under cover of night
From downpours of rain
Into white-yellow sunshine
The heart needs a breeze to soar high
It’s a kite
They say stick it out and be strong
But why ram your head into another brick wall?
It’s hard to admit you were wrong
Let it go, just surrender and let yourself fall
Where do we go from here?
You’re more than enough
Best believe me
How do we make it clear?
When the going gets tough
Trust yourself, trust the Universe
Spread your love for all beings
That’s how your presence matters
Cultivate, communicate, appreciate
Look around you
Be right where you want to be
Make it happen
Take the time to nurture your tree
That’s how your presence matters
