Get loved feel accepted for who you are without condition
Get adored feel absolutely worshipped for what you love doing without apology
Get cherished feel wanted and needed by the ones you love every single day
I hope you feel like this all the time because even if you struggle to believe it I know with absolute certainty
That you deserve it
I was a broken toy Cast aside by so many people Whenever they'd pick me up, I'd smile and hope they'd accept me But they never did
Over time, I learned that I was no good to anyone No one wanted me I could only look forward to being thrown away
Then one day, you came along Picked me up and looked me over And said, “She's not broken, She just needs a little love.”
You took me home You cared for me and loved me And showed me that I wasn't broken That all those other people were wrong I did just need a little love
It might be a long time before I really believe it but we've got plenty of time So thank you for giving me A little love
A small smile can make all the difference
That tiny ray of light might not seem like much to a world full of sunshine but to a world shrouded in shadow it means everything
Just a small smile
There's no way to tell who needs a smile so why not give them to everyone?
Just a simple smile
So let's hand them out to everyone we see and make the world a brighter place
All my life over and over people have told me that I'm not important
They ignored what I had to say Stayed ignorant of my feelings Refused to understand me Scolded me for talking about my problems
It wasn't everyone but it was enough people to make me feel like I didn't matter
It's so much easier to hold it all inside rather than facing that rejection from the ones I love
But I must remember that the people that love me...
Want me to share the things I love care about how I'm feeling work hard to understand me try to help with my problems
They care about me They love me And to them
I am important

Free compliments! Right here, just go ahead and take one No need to be shy, they're completely free
You're pretty You're smart You're handsome You're doing a great job
See, it's easy to compliment someone Find something you like about them Even if it's something small, there's something there We all need more compliments
You see, there are so many people out there that don't know how to take a compliment because they've never been given one or they received the same ones over and over again and don't believe there's anything more to them
So please, take a compliment Let it build you up and when you're finished with it Be sure to pass it on
I walk through life taking careful steps because I always do my best to be kind
I don't expect it from others but I still watch out for it because I can always do more to be kind
When I experience kindness especially a brand new sort I remember that new way to be kind
Because I know that random bits of kindness can brighten anyone's day so I'll keep learning and do my very best to be kind
We're told all our life That the rain is miserable and dreary That no one really loves her Of her, we're supposed to be weary
It’s hard to be you to be honest, be true when people want you to change when they only see you as strange
You can live your whole life without making it into a single history book And that's okay
I wish you could feel about yourself the way I feel about you You’d always smile, because you’d see the joy you spread all around
