Calling You Home
Calling You Home
It's not my business what you do
On your journey through life but I promise true
If you drift too far from sanity
By gamblin', boozin', smokin', and tokin' to get a high
All that is worthy will pass you by
And one day , like me, you will realise
It's too late to try.......to change
If you want a natural high first you gotta get free
From all addictions preventing you from becoming
The prince God intended you to be
You must be willing to look Truth in the eye
Man wasn't born to crawl; man was mean't to fly
Rebuke every alibi and aim for the sky
You can do it..you've an Ally
Deep within you there is a Strength
Without boarders in depth, width or length
Draw from that Power whose presence is nigh
All you'll need, that Source is able to supply
Evict procrastination from your heart
Resist hesitation and make a start
If you do your best the Spirit will do His part
Absolutely
Once you feel the embrace of Victory
Over everything preventing true liberty
You will soar like an Eagle and laugh at calamity
Gaining the courage of a lion
The meekness of a lamb
The cleverness of a fox
And you will climb the highest mountain
And stand..with head held high
Not because you succeeded independently
But bended as the Willow to the guidance of Wisdom
And Honesty
Someone once said, "Life is short" and I know that's true
I'd grieve if what happened to me happens to you
Because I wasted at least 40 years
You cannot undo what's been done
Memories of stupid choices , you can delete none
You've youth and there is still time
But the clock is ticking and it won't rewind
However, you can turn around
If you believe you're on a path Hell-bound
Peace of mind and joy are among the sweetest treasures
Ever known
If you listen with your heart, you will hear them,
Calling You Home
