Go out into the cold cruel world and show no fear
And be not seen afraid.
Despair not of what evil does in dark not
Light of day.
In your heart of hearts a kind shown smile,
Turn not away.
This world is now by few a world not made,
A world away!
Drive,
Ambition forged in fire and love what's good not hate,
Beauty seen by thoughts that see what good men
Like you make.
Children are not what they seem, compassion, no
Not strife but strive they must.
Judge not what's not seen inside your heart, a heart
That beats
Or else, your dreams will fade into that mist from which
You came.
