Be Number One, don't worry about anyone,

You must succeed, no matter what it takes,

Society, has values that you must uphold,

Think for yourself, don't swallow what you're told





Small triumphs that I see,

Mean so much more to me

And every day, is just another struggle

We make our way, in spite of all the lies

What does it mean and, what will we leave behind,

Not what it seems, we value our own lives





Beauty and Wealth, the media obsesses with them

These images, to which we all aspire

Financial gain, unrealistic expectations

And those who fail, are thrown up on the pile





Real people who achieve,

Mean so much more to me





And every day, is just another struggle

We make our way, in spite of all the lies

What does it mean and, what will we leave behind,

Not what it seems, we value our own lives





It's time to stop, and take stock of the way we're living,

What will we leave, for those we come before,

While history is written by the winners then it's,

A shallow life, that we all have in store





Small triumphs that I see,

Mean so much more to me





And every day, is just another struggle

We make our way, in spite of all the lies

What does it mean and, what will we leave behind,

Not what it seems, we value our own lives
