But a one shot deal
To grow in spirit
By being real
Real as in humble
Not full of pride
Or living a lie
Or trying to hide
The faults and flaws
The wrongs you do
Because only truth
Will get you through
To the other side
The one of spirit
So speak what's real
So the world can hear it
Don't be fake
Or make a show
Of all you want
Others to know
That ain't the real
And honest way
To say what you do
And do what you say
I'm not calling out
All of the liars
But if you are a fake
You best tend to your fires
Because bridges they burn
And you can't go back
If integrity is gone
And character you lack
Think on how
You want it to end
Can you forgive all you've done
Will the fences soon mend?
It's not about you
Or all that you've got
It's what you let go
Did you do it or not?
Did you hold on to anger
Did you make love to hate
Or did you find your real purpose
It's never too late
To leave the person
Inside that brings down
All of your dreams
Makes you look like a clown
Be love and be strong
Be good and be right
Follow the spirit
Within day and night
Others will notice
And respect who you are
Some will dispise you
And talk from afar
But worry about nothing
Except your own heart
Can you live with yourself
Well at least that's a start
