Freedom - calls my name | |
Serenity – keeps me sane | |
Happiness – it dulls the pain | |
Honor - to save my fate | |
Hoping - to run away | |
Willingness - to understand | |
Justice - for you not to judge | |
Courtesy – for all to start | |
Kindness – it's not that hard | |
Self-restraint – the self impaired | |
Inventory – my daily bread | |
Analysis - and then you're gone | |
Look in the mirror | |
What do you see? | |
The Shattered Fortress | |
That once burned me | |
Faithful ascent | |
Through darkest fires | |
I've found the path | |
To take me higher | |
You're smart enough | |
For me to trust | |
Go live your life now | |
Just keep these steps | |
In your life | |
And you'll know how | |
If you're not sure | |
Ask yourself | |
'Have I done to them | |
As I would have them | |
Do to me?' | |
Look in the mirror | |
What's that you see? | |
The Shattered Fortress | |
Fly now, be free! | |
Faithful ascent | |
Through darkest fires | |
I've found the path | |
To take me higher | |
I once thought it better | |
To be right | |
But now I have finally seen the light | |
Sometimes you've got to be wrong | |
And learn from mistakes | |
I live with serenity now | |
Not self-righteous hate | |
(Help me be a channel of Thy peace | |
That were there is hatred, I may bring love | |
That were there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness | |
That were there is discord, I may bring harmony | |
That were there is error, I may bring truth | |
That were there is doubt, I may bring faith) | |
Now that you can see all you have done | |
(That were there is despair, I may bring hope | |
That were there is shadow, I may bring light) | |
It's time to take that step into the kingdom | |
(That were there is sadness, I may bring joy) | |
All your sins will help to make you strong | |
(That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted | |
That I may seek to understand, rather than to be understood) | |
And help you break right through the prison wall | |
(That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved, | |
for it is by self-forgetting that one finds, | |
it is by forgiving that one is forgiven) | |
Keep all of me | |
The desires that once burned me deep inside | |
Help me live today | |
And help to give me grace | |
To carry out your ways | |
I am ready, help me be all I can be | |
I am ready, help guide me and keep me straight | |
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere | |
Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there | |
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere | |
Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there |
Freedom calls my name | |
Serenity keeps me sane | |
Happiness it dulls the pain | |
Honor to save my fate | |
Hoping to run away | |

Justice for you not to judge | |
Courtesy for all to start | |
