In this world where the frantic pace
Can drive someone insane,
Where fears can turn us into dust,
You're not one to complain.
You're not the type to criticize.
You're not the kind to take
Advantage of another
When he's made some small mistake.
You're not the one to wear a frown
When things don't work out right.
You're not the one to go to sleep
Without a hug goodnight.
You're not the one to shy away
When friendship comes to call.
When troubles make your shoulders ache,
You're not the one to fall.
You're not the one to whimper at
The end of your long day.
You're not the one to fail to bow
In silence as you pray.
You are admired by many for
The qualities you've got.
The world loves you for what you are,
But I - for what you're not.
