It’s impossible to be
Who you want to be
If you don’t know
Who you are.

Deryo

When you
Stand on the edge
You may lose
Your balance.
That is why
Friendship and love
Is so important.

Deryo

You can laugh
At me
As if
I’m a clown.
Or you can
Respect me
And I will
Respect
And love you back.

Deryo

If you have hope
Raise your hand.
If you have belief
In you heart.
Stand on up.
If you’re
A sh..t starter
Just shut
Your ass up.

Deryo

As a man
I stand for love.
I stand with pride.
I stand in my faith.
I stand for my belief.
And
I stand by my family.
In which
I will never forsake.
My family gives me
The strength
To survive
Amongst all of my challenges
So as I look out into life
I ask you
Can we all
Stand together?

Brighter than a star
It is a beacon that guides my life.
Never swaying left or right
It keeps me going straight ahead.
Unlike many posers
Which try to lead me toward confusion and astray.
The light I see and believe
Brings me truth through love.
During my times of challenge
It shines
To help me view my way.
My light is good
My light is hope
My light is truth
My light shows the way
To belief for all of us.
Yes
My light is your light
So let it shine on you.
Let it shine,
Deryo

When you
Wake up in the morning.
Right before
You thank Him
For this new day.
There is a moment
When you search
To find yourself.
That is
The everyday rebirth
Of your soul.

Hallelujah,
Deryo

Today we’re going to toss out
All the times
When someone said something
To hurt your feelings.
Or pushed your open loving heart
To the ground.
And you felt less than
Who you truly are.
So today
We’re going to
Throw all those
Bad feelings away.
And just
Love yourself.
Today and everyday.

Today,
Deryo

Some people say
You are judged
By the things you have
Are by the things
You can process.
But I always say
You shouldn’t judge yourself
By things you have.
But by
How you get up
From your let downs.

Believe in yourself,
Deryo

What you came here with
Is the same thing
You leave with.
It may not be as new
But
Oh so more Defined

What,
Deryo
