try a little harder
its closer than you think.
walk a little further
you'll get there in no time.
scream a little louder
and just maybe theyll hear you.
jump a little higher
and the stars will seem closer.

laugh a little harder
the joke will never die.
cry a little harder
and the hurt will go away.
dance a little more gracefully
and we'll see your beautiful footwork.
write a little more often
and one day you'll have a novel.
