I will not waste my time

I will not waste my time

trying to be someone else

for better or worse

I'm going to be myself

wake up in the morning

glad to be alive

doing more that I need

I won't simply survive

I will not waste my time

doing the devil's work

thinking only of myself

and not the ones who are hurt

by endless trouble

by life's other side

I must learn to help others

this cannot be denied

I will not waste my time

I'll do what needs to be done

when the heart meets the mind

something special has begun

and I won't be a loser

I will do my very best

and then I'll let the spirit

do all the work that's left
