Tell me why so many of us,
Are watered-down by the world,
Claiming being authentic will hurt,
Abandoning who we really are,
So as to reach for the stars,
Believing the lie that we can never get far,
When acting like a believer,
But don’t let people change you,
Keep it real and true,
Develop a tough skin, but maintain a soft heart,
Have Christ-like character
Tell me why so many of us,
Are comparing ourselves to others,
Ignoring that still small voice,
That is asking us to forge our own path,
Instead we are living the life of another,
It may be a brother or a father,
But don’t let people deceive you,
Keep it real and true,
Develop a tough skin, but maintain a soft heart,
Have Christ-like character
Tell me why so many of us,
Are getting weary of the wait,
Forcing issues because of impatience,
Doubting what God has already promised,
Acting out like Sarah with Hagar,
Yet all these could have been avoided,
If only we could have waited,
Please don’t allow time to rush you,
Keep it real and true,
Develop a tough skin, but maintain a soft heart,
Have Christ-like character
