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
