lyrics
FORGET YOURSELF
(c) Agnes Chan, Robbie Seidman
When I was a little girl
I felt so ordinary
I was jealous of my sisters,
I thought they were so pretty
I was angry at my parents
Furious with God
How come we were not richer
I wish we had a cooler car
The more I thought about myself
The worse my situation got
The more I tried to solve my problems
The worse my problems got
Then one day I heard this voice
Coming from so far away
But then I heard it deep inside
And this is what I heard it say…
Forget yourself
Forget yourself
On the streets of Hong Kong
Hollywood and Tokyo
Inundated by billboards
That let us know
How we must have it all
And never be denied
But you know you can have it all
And still not be satisfied
Then one day I heard this voice
Like a mission bell from far away
Then I felt it deep inside
And this is what I heard it say
Forget yourself
Forget yourself
I opened my heart
To the whole human race
Everything fell into place
Forget yourself
Forget yourself…
