BEFORE I DIE I ONLY WISH TO BE WISE

MY SPIRIT REVIVED & MY BEING REVISED

WHERE HONESTY LIES AT MY SIDE

SEE THE BEAUTY IN MY HEART AND MY WAYS ARE DIGNIFIED

VIEW THE LIGHT IN MY EYES

APPRECIATION BECOMES MY ONLY DESIRE

SPIRITUALLY AWAKENED AND I PASS ON THE FIRE

ONLY PRIDE AS MY TORCH

GIVE LOVE WITHOUT ANY FORCE

LOST INDIVIDUALS I NURTURE

WITHHOLD PATIENCE AND ACCEPT IT AS A VIRTUE
