Tell Myself

A relatively new song from me called "Tell Myself."

Tell Myself

I tell everyone around: Follow your dreams
'cause every time you try a failure is redeemed.

I tell everyone around: Don't give in to fear
'cause the song you need sing somebody needs to hear.

I tell everyone around: You only get one chance
so every time you can you should take the time to dance.

But what do I tell myself?
What do I tell myself?
Not my sister
Not my brother
And not anybody else.
What do I tell myself?
What do I tell myself?
---------------------------

I tell everyone around: Treat your body kind
'cause it takes you on the way to every way you find.

I tell everyone around: Always feed your soul.
That teaches you the things you really need to know.

I tell everyone around: That the Holy One above
counts you as a child and showers you with love.

But what do I tell myself?
What do I tell myself?
Not my sister
Not my brother
And not anybody else.
What do I tell myself?
What do I tell myself?
---------------------------

Can I hear this now
as an echo bouncing back across to me?
Can it be somehow
this mirror's gonna finally help me see?

But what do I tell myself?
What do I tell myself?
Not my sister
Not my brother
And not anybody else.
What do I tell myself?
What do I tell myself?
