Encourage ME

Don't discourage me
Encourage me
Just nourish me
I will flourish, you see
All I need is your support
I don't need no degrading rapport
Help me to help myself
Climb up to a higher shelf
Give me the chance to spread my wings
Let God be the judge who reigns
I'm not trying to be more than I
But I don't need you to criticize
Just let me grow like a flower in the garden
Show me love...don't be my warden
I know the direction I want to go
There will be plenty of opportunity to hear...NO
What I need from you is an encouraging nudge
Not criticisms of a jealous grudge
Don't put me down
Lift me off the ground
Don't make me cry
Help me to fly
Don't break my spirit
Help me clear it
Tell the things I need to hear
Don't make me feel I'm a disease to fear
So, once again, I say to you
Please, take heed to these words I choose...
Don't discourage me
ENCOURAGE ME
