No Anchor For Rancour

The future has no anchor 
If your heart is filled with rancour 
Tame your heart and calm your anger 
Don't be so cruel like the thunder 

Bitter tree yields a bitter fruit 
Unless you change it by the root 
Bitterness yields to bitterness 
But a great heart yields to greatness 

Every heart has a reason 
To rise and fall by the season 
A haughty heart will always fall 
And the lowly will stand tall 

So learn sometimes to bend your knees 
And abhor hate, give chance to peace 
A heart that knows to bend when wrong 
Will learn to rise to be strong
