Above Life



Above Life

Standing on the high board, life below
Always courage to jump into the flow
Mama taught that strength of mind is the way to go
When the jump is taken with moral certainty, it’ll glow

Stand alone in the justice zone without any moan
Justice for myself even though I may have no home
Be not afraid of life for it is a coward and attacks the fearful
Know that an attitude of strength expecting to win is joyful

Reality dictates that note is taken of the more powerful
It’s no disgrace to negotiate without selling your soul
Keep emotion at bay when the fight is underway
Know when to say nothing, collapsing the opponent’s haranguing

In the aftermath when the air is wretched with corrosive emotion
Can you look the enemy in the eye with honest satisfaction?
For then you’ve won regardless of the outcome
This is the satisfaction bound up in morality that it’s resting upon
