Twenty four hours in a day
Twenty four hours to work eat sleep and play
Before speaking think of what you'll say
The guides and maps but you still have to find your way
You'll need to figure out income there are bills you'll have to pay
To deal with the pressure some say you have to pray
One thing that defines you is where your loyalties lay
Approach all with kindness dont develop a heart of clay
This will help you find peace and keep conflict at bay
Be ready to cope with grace come what may
Be faithful in love don't let your heart go astray
Stand by your loved ones let them know you will never betray
We only get one life and its best to get it right
Avoid stress turmoil and stay out of the fight
Having character and values shows your strength and might
Only you can determine if your path is dark or bright
These pearls of wisdom aren't unique or anything new
And not necessarily what you'll choose to do
If you apply them you may become one of the few
Who lives their life knowing they actually do have a clue
Someone who stands up straight even when their skies aren't blue
You will find loyalty and friendship that is real and true
We only get one life and its best to get it right
Avoid stress turmoil and stay out of the fight
Having character and values shows your strength and might
Only you can determine if your path is dark or bright
Give others respect and value dignity
Let your kind heart show for everyone to see
Being kind costs nothing its absolutely free
When it comes to love never be lazy
We only get one life and its best to get it right
Avoid stress turmoil and stay out of the fight
Having character and values shows your strength and might
Be the best you can and be a shining light
You have one chance so knock it out of sight
