I know it can feel tough, but it's up to you.
Don't let the fear consume you, it's up to you.
Life can be like this,
and you can feel blue.

Don't let it consume you, it's up to you.

It's your choice to do something
from where you are.
It can be scary, sad, or hurtful
but life stretches far.
It's up to you to make a decision.

It's up to you to feel your emotions.
To accept them, and let them breathe.
Not holding on but letting them be free.
If not then you'll create things that don't exist.

You would create things you cannot remove.
You'd create a distance from all the ease.
You'd create a self culture to dis your ease.
You'd simply build a life of disease.

So it's up to you to remember.
Remember to love yourself with all your being.
No one else can do it for you.
It's up to you to live your life.

The way it flows is up to you.
Even the brightness of the sun is up to you.
The people around you,
the lessons of love.
The lessons of sorrow,
the lessons of sum.
Remember this rule.
Internalize it well.
It's up to you to see what will be there.
You can't predict life. Every moment exists and what you do is your decision.
