Never underestimate the things you can do
the stars above
the sky is underneath your feet, can’t you see
You can leave them breathless
Only if you try
All your mistakes turn into gold
this very moment you’re king
When you conquer you shall feast too.
You can’t tell them what it is
Only what it feels like.
