Minutes to hours to days to weeks No one can find what they do not seek Persist even when the future is bleak Make better choices The heart is strong when the spirit is weak Don't heed the voices The ones that speak to you alone That talk you into what you can't condone They say you have no mind of your own And the flesh will rule you And you feel a child, even though you're grown How the mind can fool you Feelings overrule the mind The heart is ever so unkind With temptation close behind It's logic or passion It's a battle you will find of brutal fashion Lodged between the moral wrong More than tragedy in song Walking where you don't belong The path's not chosen Standing still, yet pulled along Toward a heart Ambrosian
