Iron Sharpens Iron

Iron Sharpens Iron 
Telling the truth 
Something they don’t want to hear 
Being a Sharp tool 
Just being honest 
Building up character 
True friendship 
Pay careful attention 
Iron Sharpens Iron 
A sharp metaphor 
A black-smith making orange sparks 
Amber sparks to grow 
Become the new you 
Be the best you can be 
This is a new day 
Be a better man 
Through the storm 
A new person is born 
Shape metal to iron 
Become a better equipped man 
Stand tall 
Sharper than your adversaries
