Being Someone Else

To envy someone that you know
is like wishing them away.
It fills your heart with bitterness
and leads your mind astray.
The devil is the one to blame.
To him it's just a game.
Thankfully, the lord is near,
to help us overcome our fear.
So bow your head
and pray to him,
Glory be to God.
Jesus is the real deal,
the devil is the fraud.
