Word To The Wise

Deep in the shade of your hidden dreams
Blazing eyes stare with ruthless will
Beneath the skin of your wavering hands
A stronger fist stands still

Under the chains, heavy on your back
A biting beast waits for your call
Why do you follow the sightless?
Why do you join them in their fall?

Because they told you to be afraid,
Not to play with the fire
But a soul without a scar
Is a soul with no desire

Whenever life seems to treat you wrong
Don't be afraid to pull out the claws
Don't look for safety in ignorance
Don't choke the fire that sings inside

It is not easy, it's an endless fight
But it gives a life a whole new meaning
Makes every moment worth to be lived
And all the doubts fade away...

Chorus:
Still we go on, never to fall
Still aiming higher we are standing tall
Shake off your fears, break all the chains
Unveil the courage to challenge the truth
