Track Name: I'm Great!
It's true, those in you giving your mind a pounding make you blind to the good in you and your surroundings. As for me, I see being hard on myself leads to early death and poor mental health. In our bubbles, we have troubles difficult to mend--make mistakes, hurt our friends, absently mindedly offend. But though oppressed, let's do the best we can everyday and not be led astray by what other people say. Good can come of what you think are mistakes. You can't let you be consumed by hate. Hold your head up high to the sky and state, "I'm great!" Good can come of what you think are mistakes. You can't let you be consumed by hate. Hold your head up high to the sky and state, "I'm great!" So contemplate! Meditate! Exercise! And while having sex you should try not to cry! Sometimes you may find we all wish we were dead, but keep in mind it's all in your head. So face down the clowns that make you frown. Everyday there's a way to turn it all around. Say, "Stay away, thoughts compulsive and vile! You can't rob me of my style or smile!" Good can come of what you think are mistakes. You can't let you be consumed by hate. Hold your head up high to the sky and state, "I'm great!" Good can come of what you think are mistakes. You can't let you be consumed by hate. Hold your head up high to the sky and state, "I'm great!" Trying to be happy might make you sad, but inside's everything you need to be glad. You may not think you've won or done a lot, but what'll count is that you fought and gave it all you got. Life may be full of strife and it may be lonely, but think, "At least I get to be around me, see a world no one else will ever see and be a person no one else will ever be!"
Track Name: I Love My Gay Dad!
My father was married and thirty-four when he realized he didn't like girls anymore. My parents ended up getting divorced, though it's better than being unhappy of course. But I don't care if he's gay or straight, because he's still my dad and he's really great. Knowing him helped open my eyes, and here's the things I realized: There's no wrong way to love. There's no wrong way to dress. There's no wrong way to be, so don't self-suppress. Either sex can like pink or blue, the important thing is what's right for you. Girls can like girls, and boys can like boys. Do whatever brings you joy, because no matter what, you'll always be rad. I love you and I love my gay dad! When guys show up and say hateful cracks to show they're real men, I say, "You need to relax!" To more important things I feel affinity than proving my masculinity. As I speak, my daughter's five years old, and I let her know she doesn't need to fit into a mold created by gender roles. Just be yourself, don't be controlled! There's no wrong way to love. There's no wrong way to dress. There's no wrong way to be, so don't self-suppress. Either sex can like pink or blue, the important thing is what's right for you. Girls can like girls, and boys can like boys. Do whatever brings you joy, because no matter what, you'll always be rad. I love you and I love my gay dad!
Track Name: Be Yourself!
Hey kids, I hope you're enjoying your lives, drawing awesome pictures and giving high fives. And I don't want to ruin your wonderful day, but there's some things I want to tell you about, okay? You'll grow up one day and people will say you must look and act and love one way. And if you choose to stray from the norm, lame grown ups will say, "You need to be reformed!" But it's okay to have fun and be funny, and live a life not based on money. I don't know better than anybody else, I only know what works for myself. So kids, I won't tell you what to do, because too many people do that to you. And too many people do that to me, but being me is all I can be! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF! So to each of you that's what I'd advise--be a person you don't despise. Treat others how you want to be treated. Don't let people being mean make you feel defeated. Because no matter what poison they speak, you're amazing, beautiful and unique. So don't let the real you hide. Just listen to what you're told from inside, and at the end of your life you'll be happy knowing you were the person you wanted to be!
