Don't stop trying, there's always reason to go on living As long as you can breathe Stay clear of extremes Just say what you mean But try not to be mean
You should say "Thank you" often, "Like your hair", Wave to strangers everywhere Do what you're supposed to do Don't look at what the others do
Think before you buy a car Don't marry someone you met at a bar There's no such thing as going too far Love who you are
Don't be scared of what's ahead But wear a helmet to protect your head Be aware, say you care, don't say fair
Stay close to the hands that raised you Watch for signs Never waste expensive wine Spoil your body, spoil yourself Never cheat and share your wealth
Sing when you're glad Close the door if you sound bad Don't believe a man who knows he's right Don't skip ahead, enjoy your flight
Be nice to your dog Drive slow in the fog Convince yourself to write a song Change clothes every day Call ahead when you're late Be safe when you're planning to get laid
Read what you like Be on your brother's side It's okay to wonder why But don't expect to understand your life
