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
