you cannot sway what's on the inside

edgar cayce reading 815-2: "First know in self in what thou hast believed, and then set that as the ideal . . . And when the darker days come, and when the shadows come that would make thee afraid, turn within and have a good time at scaring the bogies away from those that would fear, that would doubt."

Through troubled times, news of hatred, death and war,

Find signs of an end, but it may just seem to be okay,

And I'm not alone, when I say I feel enough to think,

I know there's dark in all things so I find the light and struggle on

Lead me with a grip so tight, I'll move ahead, I'll break the path,

I'll cross the line, and still reach out,

Wash my mind or stab my back but spirit stays my friend,

You can not sway what's on the inside

Messin' around, but if it feels like serious, I fall to the ground,

And I pick myself up, so I can face th days,

Learn on my own but I get so much from things I see these days,

Vivid, so clear, I can't see why it's hard to understand
