It’s a four letter word
Buts rarely heard
As something that can go right

People think that it’s nothing
When really it’s something
9we just have to keep that in sight

Yes sometimes it’s painful
And it can be hateful
But know it will be okay

It has its heartbreaks
But for yall’s sake
There is always a brand new day

Just trust in your mind
That it can be kind
And everything is meant to be

Life is a word
That needs to be heard
And taken seriously
