**I’ve been sinking on a ship of fools, ** **A natural born killer. ** **Living my life somebody else’s way, ** **For he who trims himself to suit everyone ** **Will soon whittle himself away. ** **Stand up, Stand up ** **Can I be strong enough? ** **I’m trying hard to be myself again ** **I try to read between the lines, ** **I want a simple explanation, ** **To feel inside, ** **To surrender to natures teachings, ** **That years from now, ** **When all the junk they got is broken ** **And long forgotten, ** **You’ll still have stars. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The goal is light, goodness, and preservation, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Sharpened by minute examinations of enormous ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Tracts, and is finally called upon to face ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">What may be a bloody fight with the Fiend himself. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Your soul alone is the issue and ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Let you not mistake your duty, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Show honor now, show a stony heart ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And sink them with it. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Very simple natural objects ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Which have the power of affecting us, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Made me feel my glory and my shame at the same time. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The hardest thing on earth ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Is choosing what matters. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Fractures and powerful collisions ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Occur deep down, but sometimes ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">All we see on the surface ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Is a slight tremor. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Live like you’re going all out, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Like you’re not afraid of ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The power inside you. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I feel that the period will sooner or later ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Arrive when I must abandon reason and life together. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">To believe in my own thought, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">To believe in what is true for my ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Own private heart. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Envy is ignorance; ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Imitation is suicide; ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When good is near you, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When you have life in yourself, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It is not by any known or accustomed way; ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You shall not discern ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The foot-prints of any other; ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Nothing can bring you peace ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But yourself. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Yet a good man is hard to find ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Because our society ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Scours them for scapegoats. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A good man is hard to find, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But I can’t make all I done wrong ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Fit what all I gone through in punishment. ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Yet, I have several more lives to live, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And could not spare any more time ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">For that one ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Isn’t dying once enough? ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Let him step to music which he hears, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">For I have learned this, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">At least, by my experiment: ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Reason and persuasion ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Are the only practicable instruments ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And to make way for these, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Free enquiry, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Individual being, ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And self reliance ** **<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Lucida Bright','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Must be indulged. **
