Can I Live?


Disgusted with the price of fame because it costs too much

Can I live, without individuals saying that I boast too much?

As I get older and slightly wiser I see real truth unfold

Through the eyes of the Spirit, I see a society that has grown so cold

But when I think back on the days of my blood shot eyes

And I think of all the nights my mom prayed and cried

The worst day in Christ is far better than the best day in sin

And being a star to the world is not worth loosing God as a friend.
