Holy

Separate yourself from your world and become a part of the plan,
Remove the ropes that are tied to you so you can freely take a stand.

Take off the clothing that identifies you as a member of the team,
And allow yourself to rise above the milk just like being cream.

Remove labels that have become attached to you and drop them at your feet,
And leave behind the conventions of life, the ones that leave you incomplete.

Step out of the grayness of conformity and move into the light,
You were created to create and you know that I am right.

Start to think in different ways to find the gift that you’ve been given,
Start to realize the purpose of your life, the one for which you’ve striven.

And you will find that there are changes that happen to you slowly,
But those changes will be the ones that will make you truly Holy.

Become Holy
