WHY PERFECT PERFECTION
Golden rays of light shine into your window
The dawn is breaking through
A new day rises for all to see
In a multicolored hue
Sunrises like this don't come all the time
But to you this one's just the same
Although you have it as good as it gets
You feel there are still more stakes to claim
You hide the life that could be yours
And work too hard with little rest
You say you want to be perfect
How's that possible you're already the best
You only look at all that's gone wrong
Ignoring all you've done and can do right
I tell you about the person I see inside you
But you insist on putting up a fight
Sometimes you really worry me with your doubts
I hope I'll change your thoughts' direction
Next time you ask me what there is to change
I'll reply with "Why perfect perfection?"
