The Best That You Can Be
The past reveals who I am
But not what others see
I paid for every promise made
The consequence came free
I walk the same familiar streets
The pattern of my days
So many roads are beckoning
So many different ways
Salvation offers peace of mind
And shared identity
But what if I'm the only one
Who looks and thinks like me?
Do I belong to someone else?
Can human souls be sold?
Does practicing my self control
Mean doing what I'm told?
Sometimes we make hard choices
That shape our destiny
But you succeed when you become
The best that you can be.
