Don't you ever feel like you're less than perfect!

Ahmir, PERFECT
(P!nk Cover)

______________________________


A great cover of a great song by P!nk - but there's more to it:

The video was made as a project to send out a message against bullying. And in order to also offer concrete help and support in this important mission, 20% of the proceeds of every sold copy go to the Make Laughter Count Foundation.

So make sure to buy this song from iTunes (simply go to the iTunes store and search for "Ahmir Perfect")!

From the video's description:

"Teenagers and kids who are bullied often feel like they are all alone and have no where to turn. If you see someone being bullied, reach out and let them know it's going to be ok. Just being there for someone will give them hope and change their life more than you know. Take a stand against bullying. The world is better when we're all friends and not enemies."


Reach out to a kid or teen in need ...

Listen to them
Feel with them
Think about what you heard and felt
and then reply, and take action.

Believe me:
You will know what to say, and what to do.

Offer comfort and compassion,
and offer help.

Be a part of things.
Be there, don't look away.
Be a witness, not a bystander.

Stand up for someone in need
And say "No!" to bullies. 

The more help together
The easier it gets.

You are needed.
Everyone out there.

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me!


You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me! 

[Transcript of rap still to follow]

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me!
