Best Friend

remember everything that you've been told
criticism, hurting, as if your little soul got sold
if we keep talking to ourselves this way
this old frame of self-denial will never go away
remember how it felt to lay in mothers arms
when your whole world was shining bright and warm
remember how it slowly changed and you were giving up
believing in yourself, listening to your heart
got to be your own best friend
before anybody else could be
got to be your own best friend
and then you'll see
please, let me show you, let me help you see
that there is so much more for you to be
the precious you, that's got to be revealed
and all the suffering that can be healed you might say
it's just an empty phrase
until those tears are running down your face
and then you realize that what you're craving for
is right within yourself, waiting for your help
got to be your own best friend
before anybody else can be
got to be your own best friend
and then you'll see
pure love is running through your veins
