HEALTHY SKEPTIC

Try to work hard. Try to play nice.
Get a second view when you're given advice.
Be open-minded,
but not to the point that your brain falls out.

Have a little courage. Have a lot of pride.
Have at least one opinion you must hide.
Make sure you comprehend
space and your place in the scheme of things.

Give a little time until it seems enough.
Make a few friends and a lot more love.
Strive to see all sides
before you decide to take a stand.

Sometimes you're slow then come on strong.
Sometimes you stop in the middle of the song,
and then continue when
your brain's in the frame that it needs to be.

The news report may give one side but don't always accept it.
It isn't wrong to not belong and be a healthy skeptic.

Have a strong body but a stronger mind.
Have a cup of tea if you're so inclined.
Critics, who never play,
laugh them off and turn away.

Dont follow the herd, meek as a mouse;
you might be in line to the slaughterhouse.
Some wishes that you make turn out to be a big mistake.

Take a few risks. Dont bet a lot.
There's no sure thing but the things you've got.
Take steps; test the ground; if it's weak you turn around.

Have a good life. Have a good time.
Have a good lawyer when you sign,
and, above all else, learn to laugh some at yourself.

The enemy: you'll only see them when you least expect it.
It isn't wrong to not belong and be a healthy skeptic.
The news report may give one side but don't always accept it.
It isn't wrong to not belong and be a healthy skeptic.
