This is inspired by my old band director. His last words to me were "Be a leader." Those words have stuck with me for a long time, and I've unconsciously organized my life around them. When I don't know what to do, they pop into my head. When something doesn't go right, they come up. When I'm nervous about something or am feeling like I can't do something, those words give me courage. I don't know why that simple phrase came to mean so much to me, but they do.
Be a leader
Play it strong
Teach them how to
Play along
Be a leader
Help them out
Don't let them
Have an ounce of doubt
Be a leader
Keep it up
Marching through
The wettened muck
Be a leader
But don't be mean
Take it easy
Don't cause steam
Be a leader
Not the best
You are equal
To the rest
Be a leader
Powers bad
If you have it,
You've lost what you have
Be a leader
Not a jerk
And you will feel
The leader's perks.
