Put Your Slippers on Instead

You may find that the world is harsh and cold But you don't have to hold your tongue or do just what you're told Or you may feel weak, worried, or lonesome Like the whole world is caving in and you may not overcome But when you get back from looking out or looking in Even the summer sweats around you Relax your body parts and take the path less marked Let the pull and push surround you A leap of faith or a jump over mankind Push with quiet force the non-believers will be left behind A general rule get treated as you would like to treat And soon the tides will change the decision is at your feet Put your slipper on instead and live forever --- Put Your Slippers on Instead - Piebald
