A beautiful soul


A beautiful soul, buried inside a hole;
What a way to go, to find a beautiful soul.
It is our only hope, this beautiful soul;
What chance do we have to save this soul that we own?


We keep it hidden away, waiting for a better day;
A chance to show our face in a beautiful place.
They need a sacrifice to let us change our lives,
But we cannot lose our hope, because it can never be taken away.


They go hand in hand, the soul and the man;
It is part of my being, so let me be who I can.
I have a beautiful soul; I will not give it away.
This is my only way of making things better
And my only way to change my fate.


This is not my first rodeo; I just thought that you should know.
I have heard this con before, so I will not sell you my soul.
Inside a pit, without a redeemer; I stand alone.
Under a cloud of doubt, your lies are not a saving rope.
You are not the only way out
And you are not the only way to save my beautiful soul.
