oft' to myself i do inquire what tis' my goal in life Do i inspire A dying soul To rekindle it's fire? Does my example lead that someone Whose hopes have slipped away And the fathers still grieving for their sons Who despised whatever they'd say What future lies farther ahead me Yet what past hides behind my feet Did my actions that many they did see Splatter crimson upon my white sheet? Did the lies that i said so convincing Cause a blind soul to fall to their grave Or the vices i shared so addicting Lock salvation's key deep in a cave Was the truth that i laughed at so quickly Nothing more than another's last chance As i mocked at the warnings so sickly While i drunkenly twirled life's long dance So the lesson my heart yearns to tell you I do try with my best to impart Ask your soul so deceiptful oh please do Search your inner self question your heart Do my actions help others run farther For the goal at their feet once did lay Did my pushing them make it even harder For their tired eyes to see peace some day???
