about

We should choose carefully how we judge ourselves and who we measure ourselves against.

lyrics

Look at her on the stage,
And him on the page,
A comparison with only one end,
It won’t ever console,
Whatever I am told,
Defining success will depend

The years that should aid,
And disappointments will fade,
A promise with no real conviction,
It’s unhealthy to reveal,
Negativity you feel,
Why talk or worse have someone listen?

(Chorus)
So when we look in the mirror,
Let’s focus on seeing past what is shattered,
And concentrate on right now,
On what we know will always matter,
‘Cos the reflection,
Can be our invention,
And even deception’s,
A valuable skin

And it’s not about money, not about the status,
Not about fame or being in the papers,
Not being on the news or being number one,
Not being approved or being someone,
Not being in demand or winning awards,
Not claiming the spotlight or attracting the hordes.

Make your choices with care,
So that how you compare’s,
A decision more than a reaction,
Easier said than done,
You may choose anyone,
Your heart should know its own satisfaction.

Chorus

And it’s not about money, not about the status
Not about fame or being in the papers,
Not being on the news or being number one
Not being approved or being someone
Not being in demand or winning awards
Not claiming the spotlight or attracting the hordes
Not ego or vanity
Pretentious insanity
Just a quiet satisfaction
Of being worthwhile
