~=I WAS ~ ONE LAST TIME=~

Who's your hero?

Is it because you live where you do

That you learn to think what you do

Or do you just ignore when you do

Because you don't know why you do

Bad things establishing how you do

~(i)~

I only cried after I tried

Something that burned

My mind after I realized

My heart was beat ~ I learned

This wisdom must materialize

So knowing does take time ~ to earn

~(i)~

Selling cars I was told

There's an ass for every seat

But I felt no honor nor bold

Creating fools ~ my heart beat

From the heat ~ my spirits did unfold

~(i)~

Honor to me is a prize I could see

Because I always remembered

The best I could be

Reflected in me

This stature you see

Being credibility

The only hero

To fulfill me

Spiritually

~(i)~

Imagine

Our spirituality

Without machination

Defeating its personality

Sage men guiding this nation

Instead of leaders ~absent~ credibility

~(i)~

The difference I see

Is how a guide

Works with me

Revealing the ride

A trail ~does blaze~ for all to see

~(i)~

Trails turn to roads of gold

For all the young minds to behold

Before the gavel costs or does hold

Their time on earth for mistakes I have just told

~(i)~

One last time

A man does crime

Stories of money prime

The young minds of our time

Because evil men reign

Our world is insane

I see a ball

And chain

Use all

Your brain

My heart does strain

I want to blaze the trail

Not ride the train

That "Fools Express"

~(i)~

Leaders spend and undress

Forcing or world into duress

Injustice is wrong

This is my song

A hero is strong

A fool feels wrong
