YOU SHOULD EXPECT (Janis Kelly ©2021)
“La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!
La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!”
When this world gets hard on you When you’re lost in pain
When you question where you belong If you’ll ever be happy again Just remember you are worth more than silver and gold Your inner beauty is something to behold
And just in case you have never been told
You should expect to be loved
You should expect to be seen
You should expect to have all the joy and the wonder your soul can dream! You should expect to hear, “yes!” You should expect nothing but the best
You should expect to feel free to be who you came to be And live a life that makes you sing,
“La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!
La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!”
I see you struggle for so long
See you trying to break free
I see you working every day to build your own identity
Just remember you are worth more than silver and gold Your inner beauty is something to behold And just in case you have never been told
You should expect to be loved
You should expect to be seen
You should expect to have all the joy and the wonder your soul can dream! You should expect to hear, “yes!” You should expect nothing but the best
You should expect to feel free to be who you came to be And live a life that makes you sing,
“La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!
La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!”
“La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!
La, la, la-la, la; La, la, la-la, la!”
