Personal Anthem

We all strive for perfection
Even at the cost of ourselves
We cannot buy perfection
We just got to look
Inside ourselves

We all need a friend
A friend we can count on
When we're in pain
We all need a friend
A friend to trust in
When we've had a bad day

A friend to guide us, stand beside us
A friend to carry us when we are weak
A friend to love us, hold and hug us
A friend to remind us that we are unique
And when we've looked everywhere else
That friend must be ourself

We all want confirmation
That we are the best we can be
Love gets lost in translation
Why can't we see that we're free

We all need a friend
A friend to shelter us
When we're in the rain
We all need a friend
A friend to trust in
To show us the way

A friend to guide us, stand beside us
A friend to carry us when we are weak
A friend to love us, hold and hug us
A friend to remind us that we are unique
And when we've looked everywhere else
That friend must be ourself

We all strive for acceptance
Even at the cost of our health
We cannot buy perfection
We have got to look
Inside ourselves
And when nothing else is left
What will last is ourself
