[02:20.68] Freedom - calls my name
[02:22.36] Serenity – keeps me sane
[02:24.08] Happiness – it dulls the pain
[02:27.54] Honor - to save my fate
[02:29.25] Hoping - to run away
[02:30.91] Willingness - to understand
[02:34.54] Justice - for you not to judge
[02:36.25] Courtesy – for all to start
[02:38.01] Kindness – it's not that hard
[02:41.41] Self-restraint – the self impaired
[02:43.23] Inventory – my daily bread
[02:44.86] Analysis - and then you're gone
[02:48.08]
[02:49.36] Look in the mirror
[02:52.82] What do you see?
[02:56.17] The Shattered Fortress
[02:59.63] That once burned me
[03:02.56]
[03:03.23] Faithful ascent
[03:10.21] Through darkest fires
[03:17.29] I've found the path
[03:24.22] To take me higher
[03:29.23]
[03:44.68] You're smart enough
[03:46.60] For me to trust
[03:48.25] Go live your life now
[03:51.44] Just keep these steps
[03:53.45] In your life
[03:54.97] And you'll know how
[03:57.39]
[03:58.35] If you're not sure
[04:00.32] Ask yourself
[04:01.84] "Have I done to them
[04:05.25] As I would have them
[04:08.86] Do to me?"
[04:11.25]
[04:12.58] Look in the mirror
[04:16.17] What's that you see?
[04:19.54] The Shattered Fortress
[04:23.02] Fly now, be free!
[04:25.86]
[04:26.48] Faithful ascent
[04:33.50] Through darkest fires
[04:40.58] I've found the path
[04:47.45] To take me higher
[04:52.61]
[04:54.43] I once thought it better
[04:56.75] To be right
[05:01.59] But now I have finally seen the light
[05:09.75] Sometimes you've got to be wrong
[05:13.20] And learn from mistakes
[05:16.89] I live with serenity now
[05:20.23] Not self-righteous hate
[05:26.54]
[07:17.98] (Help me be a channel of Thy peace
[07:21.05] That were there is hatred, I may bring love
[07:24.47] That were there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness
[07:28.98] That were there is discord, I may bring harmony
[07:32.75] That were there is error, I may bring truth
[07:36.57] That were there is doubt, I may bring faith)
[07:38.70]
[07:39.09] Now that you can see all you have done
[07:44.90] (That were there is despair, I may bring hope
[07:47.98] That were there is shadow, I may bring light)
[07:49.58]
[07:49.87] It's time to take that step into the kingdom
[07:57.27] (That were there is sadness, I may bring joy)
[07:58.94]
[08:00.23] All your sins will help to make you strong
[08:06.31] (That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted
[08:09.62] That I may seek to understand, rather than to be understood)
[08:11.72]
[08:12.07] And help you break right through the prison wall
[08:18.18] (That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved,
[08:21.41] for it is by self-forgetting that one finds,
[08:24.58] it is by forgiving that one is forgiven)
[08:26.01]
[08:27.36] Keep all of me
[08:30.66] The desires that once burned me deep inside
[08:40.16] Help me live today
[08:43.22] And help to give me grace
[08:46.19] To carry out your ways
[08:51.10]
[08:51.50] I am ready, help me be all I can be
[09:04.15] I am ready, help guide me and keep me straight
[09:23.92]
[10:54.76] I am responsible when anyone, anywhere
[11:01.93] Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there
[11:08.25] I am responsible when anyone, anywhere
[11:15.51] Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there
[02:20.68] Freedom calls my name
[02:22.36] Serenity keeps me sane
[02:24.08] Happiness it dulls the pain
[02:27.54] Honor to save my fate
[02:29.25] Hoping to run away
