What You Do

What You Do

written by: Deborah Joan Jones

 

Look around, who do you know who truly has it all?
Watch that person you admire, he has his own downfall
That perfect couple, perfect life, you don’t see what they fight
The ones you think are sailing through, have their own hidden plight
You really think there is a world where everything is fine?
Where no one has to fight, some life blessed more than yours and mine?
You’re wrong, that is the truth, we have to work for stellar dreams
And all of us know only what to each of us that means
You think that god has favored those who he chooses to bless
But you don’t see them working hard while you are working less
You look at others jealously, at all that they have won
While fighting back your failures, all those things you’ve never done
Stop thinking that you’re injured, how unfair it’s been to you
The magic of success in life comes down to what you do.
