Not slim nor faced in beauty
But one who honors duty
Not poor but I've been there
So I still know to care
I look for beauty in all things
When I find it my soul sings
Lucky to make my own choice
Still I hear what's in your voice
Not faithless, I will be
The fiercest friend you'll ever see
You can come to me and say
Anything that's in your day
If you ask me to keep true
You can trust that's what I'll do
Sure you can hurt me deep
And in silence I will keep
And hold you in my heart
Even though we grow apart
If I fall I will get up
Without help if I must
Yet in all I try to keep
It is still a giant leap
From my imperfect being
To a life of truth and meaning
I can only be this me
If that's no good then you are free

"Lucky to make my own choice
Still I hear what's in your voice -- can't say enough of how important these words are.
