Life's Example

Many think life is living the riches 
Their heart finds love but never satisfaction 
Living society, where does one find peace 
Among their heart, forgotten how to love 
Nature of existence, bond in unity 

We obligate our priorities to material world 
Our souls buried with ancestors we walk 
Like lost generation ruled unto themselves 
Life is believing anything is possible to achieve 
One must be willing fight for survival 
Like it was your last breath, it could be 

Experience to live judged by who you are 
In yourself peace exist among the ruins 
Can not live by code of man but code of land 
Our creation with purpose it is spoiled 
With desires of flesh our prayers for prosper 

Peace of love is oversight to mankind's doing 
But perfecting in you his perfection abound 
Like being optimistic but in all reality 
Truth, anything possible and nothing's perfect 
Failure is not an option but choice one chooses 
Change starts with you as example for others 
Life's example, giving a piece of you back for 
the good of mankind
