Give me the strength to be kind and wise
To see myself through others’ eyes
To know when to speak and when to be silent
For words can be peaceful and words can be violent
To forget my ego and my pride
And put my angry feelings aside
To focus on what I want to achieve
To speak the truth and not seek to deceive
Give me the strength to be brave and strong
To continue to sing my destined song
When my voice feels quashed
And my heart feels weak
Help me find the determination I seek
