When I think about my life
And all the mistakes I have made,
Why is it so hard to correct myself
Without being afraid.
It is true there is pleasure
And enjoyment in what I see,
But if I’m not showing improvement
Then how could this be right for me.
And when I could see all those faults
That are coming right towards me –
inside my mind
I will describe exactly what I see.
So when you’re in the present
no need for asking why,
It’s happening as you see it
Right before your eye.
If it’s really that important to observe
A weakness that I see,
Can that be the answer
to the way I want to be.
I have to feel proud
that I conquered a fear,
Something I could not do
year after year.
So when I’m tempted
and attacked for my lust,
I really have to say that
observing myself is a must.
Will that make me proud
if my vision is clear,
If it’s happening as I see it the only thing that could stop me
is yielding to fear.
So if I can make an effort to confront
Going against that tempting mind,
There is absolutely no doubt
That happiness I will find.
