The Shattered Fortress lyrics
X. Restraint
Freedom--calls my name
Serenity--keeps me sane
Happineses--it dulls the pain
Honest--to see my place
Open--to other ways
Willingness--to understand
Justice--but do not judge
Courtesy--for others' flaws
Kindness--it's not that hard
Self-restraint--of toungue and pen
Inventory--my daily friend
Analysis--let down your guard
Look in the mirror
What do you see?
The shattered fortress
That once bound me
Fateful 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
Fateful 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
XI. Receive
Now that you can see all you have done
It's time to take that step into the kingdom
All your sins will help to make you strong
And help you break right through the prison wall
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 way
I am ready
Help me be all I can be
I am ready
Help guide me and keep me free
XII. Responsible
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
