Don’t Tell Me Petty Things

Don’t tell me I can’t sing

Coz I will hold a note to perfection,

If need be.

Don’t tell me I can’t dance,

Coz I will dance to perfection, in rhythm

So you hold your breath in amazement.

Don’t tell me I am not good,

Coz I will show you that I am

And one day, you will change your mind.

Don’t tell me the world doesn’t need me,

Coz I will work hard,

To show you otherwise.

Don’t tell me I won’t make it in this world,

Coz I will strive to achieve the best,

And be a ‘someone’ one day!

Don’t tell me these petty things,

Coz you are angry or jealous of me,

Coz we both know you’re wrong!
