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
