Verse 1: In a world full of chaos, there's a path we can choose, Where the heart stays true, and we never lose. When we chase after dreams, that belong to another, We lose sight of our own, like a ship with no rudder. But when we hold fast to what’s truly ours, We find strength in the storms, and peace in the stars. Chorus: Hold fast to what’s real, let the false fall away, In the storm of life, don’t be led astray. No greed, no envy, no lust, no hate, Shape yourself, be strong, accept your fate. The world may tempt with riches and fame, But a virtuous soul is the highest acclaim. Reject the desires that lead to despair, For a heart untainted is beyond compare. Verse 2: Desire's a fire, it burns deep inside, But only for things within our stride. Don’t chase after dreams that belong to another, Respect your own path, as you would your brother. In the mirror of life, see who you truly are, Not what others project, but your own shining star. Let your actions speak, let your deeds define, The essence of you, not the image in mind. Chorus: Hold fast to what’s real, let the false fall away, In the storm of life, don’t be led astray. No greed, no envy, no lust, no hate, Shape yourself, be strong, accept your fate. The world may tempt with riches and fame, But a virtuous soul is the highest acclaim. Reject the desires that lead to despair, For a heart untainted is beyond compare. Bridge: When the world seems cruel, and you’re filled with doubt, Remember your power, it comes from within, Don’t be swayed by the noise, or the pull of the crowd, Stay true to yourself, that’s how you’ll win. In the darkest of nights, when the path seems unclear, Trust in your heart, let go of your fear. For what’s within you, no one can take, It’s the essence of life, in every breath you make. Verse 3: Let go of control where it’s not yours to hold, What’s yours is your spirit, your courage, your soul. Be a beacon of light, in a world dark and cold, Shape your life by your will, not by what’s sold. Don’t be swayed by the gold, or the praise of the crowd, For the worth of a man is in living unbowed. Seek wisdom in silence, find strength in your core, For the riches of life aren’t in wealth, but in more. Verse 4: Don’t seek out revenge, or harbor ill will, For peace is the reward of a heart that is still. In the game of life, where the stakes are high, It’s not the prize that matters, but the way you try. Walk the path with honor, let your conscience be clear, For a life well-lived has nothing to fear. Outro: In the end, when the final curtain falls, It’s not the wealth or the fame that matters at all. It’s the strength of your heart, the truth in your soul, That defines who you are, and makes you whole. So live with purpose, let your spirit soar, For the legacy you leave is forevermore. In the quiet of the night, when you’re alone with your mind, Know you’ve walked the right path, and true peace you’ll find.
