With lies and excuses

I convinced myself not to try

I just did what was easy

I know it's not right

I did not fight

I just tried to hide

The truth I'm ignored and denied and despised

I turned my back to the light

Now I see the gift that I had to die

Before I could follow the path

The path of the righteous man

The righteous man

The mistakes that I made

They were always the same

Now I know that was just insane

There is no passion inside this lie

Cowards always run

They run from the fight and the challenge of life

For them to give up again

Scared of the truth and the pain they must face

Before they can swallow the path

The path of the righteous man

The righteous man

I resented everyone else, and

I blamed them for the problems I had

I did not see that

I did this to myself

Now I will follow the path

The path of the righteous man

The righteous man

The righteous man
