to thine ownself be true

to thine ownself be true:
in each and everything that you do:
when you are true to your own self:
that is your greatest wealth:

when your life has a foundation of honesty:
you can live your life full and free:
a man is worth his own weight in gold:
with a foundation of honesty you can live your life strong and bold:

no matter what great success a person may achieve:
it matters not if in you people dont believe:
i would rather die a poor man with my honesty and integrity complete:
than to be rich famous wealthy corrupt and elite:

the truth in us all will always come out and become known:
to thine ownself stay true let your honesty and integrity be shown:
honesty is always the best policy:
when you are honest you set yourself free:

when your honesty gets lost:
get it back at any cost:
stay true to yourself:
that for your life is your greatest wealth:
