Some days I feel a little different, some days as Happy as can be. 
I've found pleasing others is not the best answer for me

Being seen a little different in the eyes of others
Certainly doesn't change the unconditional love of my mother

If I tried to be something I'm not, that's a lie that could  never be forgotten
This would only lead to much distress, in my heart, I would feel much forgotten 

If you can't be true to yourself you can't be true to others
This is the only way to have perfect peace in life, I tell you, my brothers
