YES, WE ARE MORE THAN WHAT WE THINK WE ARE!!!

Like a gold, heat is required for  this value
Like a platinum, stress to be this precious  
Like a coal, patience keeps us all useful  
Like a diamond, pressure refines beauty
 
I surely knew I am going to be  wonderful
Be valuable, precious, useful and beautiful 
Qualities one must possess to be valuable   
Everybody can grow if the truth is boldly told  
Everybody can grow if we all stop acting old  
  
Parents reminded me when I was nine...
Kept telling me everything will be fine  
I will be lying while the family is crying  
We were all sure that our future is dying  
  
Like gold; coal; platinum and diamond...
Can I make it a confession like Raymond?
Unlike Gold we need to be more valuable  
Unlike Platinum we need to be more precious  
Unlike Coal we also need to be more patient
Unlike Diamond we need to be extremely "hot"
  
We are not minerals but we are more than what we think we are!
