Hey you, don't you give up
It's not so bad
There's still the chance for us
Hey you, just be yourself
Don't be so shy
There's reasons why it's hard
Keep it together, you'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets would envy what we do
This could be good, hey you
Hey you, open your heart
It's not so strange
You've got to change this time

Save your soul, little sister
Save your soul, little brother
Hey you, save yourself
Don't rely on anyone else

Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
But you must first love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else

But you must first
Hey you, there on the fence
You've got a choice
One day, it will make sense
Hey you, first love yourself
Or if you can't
Try to love someone else
Keep it together, we'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
