Churches, those in them, steeples
There is so many things we glorify
Leaders, celebrities, sportspeople
Why do we feel the need to sanctify?
Is our own life in so very much of a mess
The only way we can bear fruit is to bless
The very ground upon which others walk
Then praise everything about which they talk?
It's time to get a grip on things we hold dear
The ones we truly love - who we can hug near
Plus the qualities we have in our very own lives
The ones which give us a marked edge up high
These are the things which we should hold in esteem
The things which give us shape and allow us to've been
The best we can be at the things we've done in the past
The things or friends we've made which really did last
Love the friends and things we have in our very own lives
Don't bother to glorify things outside, for this just makes strife
Live full, love full ... but keep it all within friends and family
And your life will take on a new shine ... and you'll be free
