When you think you aren’t good enough
And when the world has beaten you low
There is something to remember
Something you should know
Someone in your past has tears
For the chance to love you that they lost
Someone in your present
Wishes they had been stronger
And regrets each night they feel their loss
Someone recalls your memory
And a mistake is all they see
Someone trembles with the need to speak
Another looks into your eyes and curses you as an enemy
Someone smiles blithely to hide jealous rage
Someone else must wrestle their emotions into a cage
For each moment you feel alone
There is someone who wishes they could pick up the phone
And hear your voice on the other end
Each time you feel ugly
Someone is wishing to be you, my friend
Someone wishes you were in their bed
The lesson here that you should learn
Is no matter what your right to live has to be earned
If others give you lodging
Within their troubled minds
Smile sweetly
And recall
The fact that now you are mine
You may not be aware
Of the strength, the love, the peace you share
Or the way your temper ignites like a flare
But when others think of you
You know
Leaving an impression
Is something natural for you
That’s why you take up space in everybody’s mind
