The Spirit |
Don’t place your trust in foolish promises sworn |
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall |
Street corner justice beware |
The spirit will find you always be fair |
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all |
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall |
In lies your heart will not share |
The spirit inside used without care |
The spirit that guides you follow it through |
To the spirit inside you always be true |
You know you’ll despair |
If the spirit inside is used without care |
The battlefield of glory pales into rust |
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust |
No beast alive does compare |
The spirit beside you everywhere |
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward |
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard |
Your conscience could not repair |
The spirit inside used without care |
'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide |
And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide |
The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind |
The loss of choices praises no-one will sing |
No clues to how you will fare |
The spirit implores you tread where you dare |
The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor |
Distinction disappears the worm both deplore |
The candle burns out once more |
But the spirit inside you won’t be ignored |
