Control Your Soul

by Bill Turner   Jan 22, 2006


A man must do what he can
To make the world a better place
Lest he not be a man
Surrendering dignity and grace

The world may call a man to act
Yet the man controls his soul
You can place no blame, a fact
If your actions fail to keep you whole

Evil for the greater good
Forever taints the heart
Let it be understood
All evil tears you apart

Stand tall and deliver
Act upon your word
No shame no shiver
Shout loud be heard

Touch a life each day
Filling someone's heart
There is no other way
Play out your part
