about

This song teaches us how we can be our own best friend, especially when we might be having a tricky time!

lyrics

i am my own best friend

sometimes i’m lonely or worried or sad, and i find
that i believe the stories in my mind
that i should’ve done better, pulled myself together
and i’ve gone and done it again:
i forgot to be my own best friend

if i had a friend who was sad then i’d go cheer them up
i’d tell them that i understand and i’d give them a hug
i’d tell them not to worry, that we’re all in this together
i’d sit and hold their hand and watch the passing weather
and i remember all over again:
that i can be my own best friend!

i can calm my mind by choosing to be kind
i can say lovely things to myself every single time that i worry!
i can calm my mind by choosing to be kind
till i remember again that i am my own best friend!

if i had a friend who was sad then i’d go cheer them up
i’d tell them that i understand and i’d give them a hug
i’d tell them not to worry, that we’re all in this together
i’d sit and hold their hand and watch the passing weather
and i remember all over again:
that i can be my own best friend!

cos i can stop and breathe and there are words that i can say to myself:
‘don’t you worry darling, it’s gonna be ok!’
i'll put my hands upon my heart cos that’s the best place to start
till i remember again that i am my own best friend!

i can calm my mind by choosing to be kind
i can say lovely things to myself every single time that i worry!
i can calm my mind by choosing to be kind
till i remember again that i am my own best friend!

and i remember again that i am my own best friend.
