Peer Pressure

It's not only happening with the youth

It's at every level of society affecting all ages

I wrote this for us all

lyrics

The Pressure of a Peer
By Peter Kern

Verse 1:
There’s a reason why you or I can go astray
Social settings from early ages create our fate
The common need in all of us is to congregate
Acceptance buys the power to which we instigate

Chorus:
The pressure of a peer
The pressure of a peer
Can lead to anything
Persuasive is the fear
The pressure of a peer can lead to anything

Verse 2:
Social scenes like movie screens inspire dreams
Good is bad, happy sad, self esteem is just a pipe dream
With whom you hang, who leads the gang
Means more than what you know

Repeat Chorus:

Verse 3:
New in town, feeling down, would kill for just one friend
Isolation reaps desperation tends one to co-depend
The stain of shame inflames the pain the soul is done
Wars waged alone un-chaperoned, are never won

Chorus:
The pressure of a peer
The pressure of a peer
Can lead to anything
Persuasive is the fear
The approval of a peer can lead to anything
Verse 4:
Looking back from where I sit in my life today
I often wonder if I’d been stronger back in my day
But what could have been is not a healthy place to go
Mistakes peer through though they have transformed into hope

Chorus:
The pressure of a peer
The pressure of a peer
The pressure of a peer
Can lead to anything
