Righteous

The strength of doing right influences you and me
When deciding how things should end you see
And the righteousness to perceive your call
That you will judge the correct path for all

Is there a force around us each day
That whispers in our ear and won’t go away
So that little one riding on your shoulder 
Ensures that righteous deeds are done by the bolder

And the eternal struggle of good against bad
Has a leg up in the end not so sad
With all the unrighteousness in this world
Will be counter balanced and good flag is unfurled.
