Just breathe 
Be still 
Know that all you feel will one day have purpose
Your tears will not go to waste 
What is meant to happen will 
Slow down 
Don't rush 
Life is not a race but a journey 
Be brave 
Be focused 
Do what you must in this moment to get through
Rehearse that song over and over again until you find the courage
Believe those words to be the truth 
All is not as lost as it seems  
Fear not the unknown 
Instead lean with the flow 
Allow the current to take you 
You and I 
We're in the same boat 
Together let's jump 
Refuse to drown beneath the waves 
Choose to rise above them.
