Note to Myself
lyrics by Katie McAllister
I will not compare myself to you,
Our differences make us so unique.
I will decide, as the route it is my own path,
and your goals cannot complete me.
I cherish all those who I love here,
Holding their value near.
I’ll remember, to value those moments
that are adding greater meaning and cheer.
overcoming fear, take a risk,
to have a go
and be courageous.
Not let life pass me by
life'll be contagious.
I will decide, as the route it is my own path,
adding greater meaning
To say that I am perfect,
would be perturbed.
my imperfections
making me superb!
To say that I am perfect,
would be perturbed.
my imperfections
making me superb!
overcoming fear, take a risk,
to have a go
and be courageous.
Not let life pass me by
life'll be contagious.
be courageous.
Not let life pass me by
life'll be contagious.
