I’ll never say never not ever, no never.
I’m much too clever to ever say never
Never makes nothing happen, never brings no one fun
Never is not a word, that inspires anyone.
I’ll find silver linings on every cloud,
rose colored glasses in every crowd.
Happy clams on every beach
and every star within my reach.
Four leaf clovers and wildflowers.
Pots of gold under rainbow showers.
So consider replacing your Nevers
with ‘perhaps’ or perhaps, a ‘maybe’.
Because words are really quite clever
your words have power you see?
There’s always a way,
another new day.
Until one day there is not.
So never say never,
wherever, whenever.
Because never is not what you thought.
How do you wish upon a star?
It matters who you really are
It matters that you do believe
It matters not what they perceive
Do you close your eyes and plead?
Do you wish but then take heed?
Must you worry day and night
In fear, your wish might not take flight
When you see the star light beam
Turn your wish into a dream
Make your wish with all your might
And always keep your wish in sight!
If you eat an apple
but not the peel
do you know how that
makes the apple feel?
It hurts to the core
which of course you don’t eat
so the soul of the apple
falls at your feet
The peel is vital
chewy and sweet
it longs to give life
out of life’s own treat
It matters what I say to me
It matters what I hear
Every word I mutter
has the power to appear
I matter ’cause I mutter
I mutter to be heard
it matters what I mutter
every single muttered word
