In Every Which Way

Don’t worry about the world,

for it will always be there.

And don’t worry about the boy or girl,

for they will always care.

 

Stop all those empty thoughts,

for they are not why you’ve fought

all these years to keep your head clear.

You have nothing you need to fear.

 

Don’t look up toward the sky

and ask yourself, Will I ever fly?

The answer is yes—but only if you try.

And if you fall, it will be all right.

 

Your wings have yet to grow,

and when they do, you’ll know.

You will soar through the air,

and you will fly everywhere.

 

And you will do what you love,

you will fly high and above.

You will feel as free as a blue jay,

soaring through life in every which way.
