Let No One Steal Your Thunder



Let no one steal your passion
Let no one take your quest
Let no one steal your fashion
Let no one wreck your nest

Let no one steal your moment
Let no one take your state
Let no one steal your kismet
Let no one twist your fate

Let no one steal your wrinkle
Let no one take your show
Let no one steal your twinkle
Let no one dim your glow

Let no one steal your reprieve
Let no one take your ease
Let no one steal your retrieve
Let no one swirl your seas

Let no one steal your measure
Let no one take your wealth
Let no one steal your pleasure
Let no one spoil your health

Let no one steal your thunder
Let no one take your place
Let no one steal your wonder
Let no one paint your face
