Hunky Dory

For goodness sake
Don't worry

You've got the
the green light!

Take it for all it's
worth

There is no time to
hesitate
And soon your life
could be through

So grab it
by the horns
And run it to the ground

Keep up the pressure
and hang on tight

For tomorrow might be
awful
but the opposite
may also be true

Take a risk!
Let it go

It is time for you
to begin living once again

Think of what may possibly
lie ahead
Positive thinking is what
it is really all about

Forget about what others
may say. What do they know
about you, anyway?

New people, new horizons
an opportunity to explore
a new land

You know how to survive
You have done it
many times before

Besides boredom is your
one true enemy
Real adventure is what
you really need

Think of everything that you
have already learned
No matter what you have
been through, let it be said,
that this is a new day just for you

Tolerating an intolerable situation
only leads to pain and woe

Take a chance, the opportunity
may never be here again

In a matter of months you will
be glad that you did it
And you will begin to realize
the true nature of your resilient spirit

At the same time, you must
come to appreciate your strength
Just how many people can do
what you always do?

Life is a struggle. But you will make it,
I'm sure.

There is only one option. So before it
passes, seize the moment
and relish the day.

You must do, what you really
need to do!
