I know
that you've been in the darkness
you're feeling beat
you're feeling hopeless
but I need you to keep on going
for me, love.
I know
that the world is bringing you to your knees
that you feel like
you can't take it anymore
but I need you to live,
for me, baby.
I know
that people hate you
they jeer at you
spit at you
call you worthless
But I need you to say
"**** them"
for me, darling.
Because you're beautiful
brighter than a star
you mean the world to me
and I need you to stay
for me
for your family
for your friends
we love you,
you bright, shining star.
