Practice What You Preach

You say you've trampled through the village where the grapes of wraith are stored 
You say if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword 
A stitch in time saves nine 
What's yours is yours and what's mine is mine 
I'm still a student so will you please teach 
Set the example and Practice What You Preach 
You must go through hell before reaching heaven 
Always believe in lucky number seven 
A rabbit's foot and horseshoe bring fortune and fame 
If you take the credit for the good, for the bad you must also take the blame 
I'm still a student, so will you please teach 
Set the example and Practice What You Preach 
Do as I say, not as I do 
Not all rules apply to me , but all rules apply to you 
Don't worry about others, just worry about you 
In the end everyone gets their just due 
No one is invited to play in every game 
Now you can put faces with names 
I believe your philosophy is out of reach 
Set the example and Practice What You Preach
