(The eighth song in the “Pushing Up Daisies” album by Kerry Powers.)

I take a look into the mirror and I hate what I see, an ugly person staring back at me. People have bullied me and no one could protect me; somehow they all wanted me to die. I wonder if I should give up now, as no one would miss me when I die...

Yet I want a moment of the good life, where people are nice all the time and being ugly is not allowed. I just want a piece of the good life, what more could I ask for?

I look away from the mirror, determined not to see the person staring back at me. I wonder if it's safe for me to turn my back on the world; I'm just another insignificant person and they won't miss me when I'm gone...

Yet I want a moment of the good life, where people are nice all the time and being ugly is not allowed. I just want a piece of the good life, what more could I ask for?

But then I heard a voice telling me that I'm worth something. That voice said that my life is something that's worth fighting for...

Yes I want a moment of the good life, where people are nice all the time and being ugly is not allowed. I just want a piece of the good life, what more could I ask for?

Yes I want a moment of the good life, where people are nice all the time and being ugly is not allowed. I just want a piece of the good life, what more could I ask for?

  Very important lyrics for our time. I'll bet this song speaks for more people than we'll ever know. I hope more people come and read your words and take them to heart.
