They say vegetables are good for you
They say hard work pays off
They say mind your own business
They say cover your cough.

They say never forget your roots
They say don’t believe everything you hear
They say be yourself
They say read Shakespeare.

They say admit when you’re wrong
They say take time to relax
They say don’t overthink it
They say step over cracks.

Who is they?
Why do they care?
They are a boss
Who’s not really aware.

I say be who you are
I say try new things
I say do what you want
I say spread your wings.

I say vegetables are gross
I say Shakespeare is boring
I say read what you want
I say never stop exploring.

I say make the choice
I say go for the gold
I say love with your heart
I say tell the untold.
