Regeneration

Too many years of cruel, senseless self-inflicted wrath Just fooling myself as I drift along this sordid path Potato chips, donuts, candy bars, soft drinks, ice cream, pork and all sorts of artificial junk Stomach aches, runny noses, flatulence and mental congestion; my humanness on the brink of being defunct I've been playing this melancholic tune called "Slow Death" as the funeral procession moves closer to my final resting place Darkness and confusion no longer live in this SACRED temple, thank you dear lord for shining your precious light and your "amazing grace" No more fat and grease to clog my arteries and suffocate my 'loving heart' Regeneration is my mission, so to FAST and PRAY is where I must start No alcohol, stress, or cigarette smoke for my liver...... It works hard enough as it is; that stuff only gives it the quivers I've got to change my mind and body state..... To be renewed, I must clean this dirty slate Eating to LIVE and not living to EAT is how I must flow To do the right thing is smart; when confronted with that fake stuff, JUST SAY NO Now! Is the time to start building a new me Yes! A temple that's full of love and peace, and one that is disease-free
