Be Love by Melodie Yvonne

Narcissistic stupid bullshit
Floods the world like it’s atomic
Everybody’s out for somethin’
Everybody’s out here frontin’

We forgot what we are here for
We forgot that we should love more
We forgot about our mission
‘Cause we’re tryin’ to get attention

Now we’re here fallin’ apart
‘Cause we forgot about our hearts
And pretty soon if we keep suckin’
We’ll be swallowed by the nothin’

We’ll be swallowed by our egos
Gettin’ lost in our own needs most
Til our pleasures turn to sufferin’
And there’s no hope of recoverin’

So it’s time we stood for somethin’
Before our world turns into nothin’
And we’re lost with nothin’ left
But frozen hearts and souls bereft

So now it’s time we stood for somethin’
Even just a lil dumb thing
‘Cause it starts with just one flicker
Just one spark, one little whisper

Just one soul can change the world
One tiny lil hidden pearl
Can change a whole entire ocean
And its whole entire motion

So don’t let go of your spirit
Let it fill you and be near it
Let go of your pride and ego
Be the love that this world needs most
