One day you’ll wake up and realize the world is you pushed out.

Without a shadow of a doubt. You’re what the world is all about.

You run to the outer world all for self protection.

Unbeknownst to you. The world is just your reflection.

The way you see yourself is exactly how they see you.

You think there’s no way that’s me, but they could be you.

Want something different? It’s more than rearranging parts.

You have to train your mind and you have to change your heart.

As within is how you view yourself, then so without.

The world changes when you realize the world is you pushed out.
