You may find that the world is harsh and cold

But you don't have to hold your tongue or do just what you're told

Or you may feel weak, worried, or lonesome

Like the whole world is caving in and you may not overcome

But when you get back from looking out or looking in

Even the summer sweats around you

Relax your body parts and take the path less marked

Let the pull and push surround you

A leap of faith or a jump over mankind

Push with quiet force the non-believers will be left behind

A general rule get treated as you would like to treat

And soon the tides will change the decision is at your feet

Put your slipper on instead and live forever
