"To Overcome Passion & Acquire Perfection"
Written by: P. Allen
To overcome passion, acquire perfection
And put my feet on the path they should go
It's not so easy to change direction
When your heart says no.
When my convictions begin to falter
And my fancies start to stray,
Then Matthew, Mark, Luke and John can't help ya
When there's a Jack in the way.
Somebody's watching you,
In everything you do.
And though the present's rough,
Our future could be bright enough.
I see you and me,
In other rooms, hearing other voices
Or are we meant to be, content to be
Just second choices?
Somebody's always there
You don't know how I care.
If you can see me now,
Please understand I don't know how...
To overcome passion, acquire perfection
And put my feet on the path they should go
It's not so easy to change direction
When your heart says no...
