Life ain’t everything you dream.
Time changes, nothing really lasts…
Ain’t nobody gonna save you – save yourself
And your Mama, she can’t save you
Save yourself
You want someone to “make you”
Make yourself
Every time you fall
Somebody’s there
You never had to learn to save yourself because somebody was there
You never learned the hero within
You never were your own best friend
Because somebody was always there
You thought they were there to save you
They really came to enslave you
Ain’t nobody gonna save you
Save yourself.
I realized you could never be the family of my dreams
So I saved myself.
The tree grows from the seed
Within yourself is all you need
We are born alone
We will die alone
We will face judgment alone
Bare and forlorn before throne
Lonely is the road that leads to life
Popular is the road that leads to destruction
Ain’t nobody gonna save you – save yourself.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Before you were formed, I gave you the ability to save yourself, to protect yourself, to walk with Wisdom every day of your life in peace.
Jeremiah 1
