We come into life as innocents
no prejudice upon our soul
Washed clean by a new beginning
not a single debt, nor a toll
We have two choices most of us
codes of fathers we just swallow
Or blaze a path in loneliness
others wonder but don't follow
It is that rare one we may find
who chooses to go his own way
These are the ones we all admire
not for them but us we should pray
Fearless souls unafraid to di
they the ones bucking convention
Who teach us all our life's follies
by adding a new dimension
As life progresses onward
to it's predestined conclusion
We learn then teach the least of us
to see truth not the delusion
Don't fear the ones with their own ways
for they may know what we do not
He who turns toward forgiveness
has discovered what most forgot
