The real you your ego hides
It's harder to accept that we all run into failure at least once in our lives
I've lived some of the toughest times
But you would never knowWhen choosing who you want to be in life
Choose the you that sympathizes
The you that knows not everyone comes from wealth
The you that knows no one man is above the other
not even himselfRaise your children with compassion in their hearts
For even the mighty have fallen
Raise your children with the kindest of touches
For even Achilles felt the sting of his weaknessReincarnation is such a tricky thing
lived the life of a millionaire
Come back a common man
All debts paid; Ego silent
Peaceful life before ascending into spirit guiding
