I am not a follower
In any shape or form~
I chose not one religion
I wake to my own dawn~
There is but one God upon this earth
I've a personnel relationship with his son~
And I follow my own sense of reality
Have done since I begun~
I am not a real good joiner
Not another sheep within a pen~
I practice all my values
Have done since I don't know when~
I don't need the ten commandments
If you are a good soul you only need but one~
Simply always strive to be a good person
And the rest is from then done~
He never had or used fine churches
He taught beneath a tree~
And treated all simply the same
Made common sense to me~
He knew from a glance where they had been
And what life they'd lived as well~
They need not tell him anything
One glance and he could tell~
He taught his disciples of life after death
He proved it there and then~
Said we were all created in his likeness
We all have been since time began~
Telethapy was once a thing
We all could use the longest time ago~
But because no one could tell a lie
Time soon changed that it's so~
I walk my own path and I insist
That I walk it till my dying day~
Won't do anyone a bad turn
If they don't to course harm go out of their way~
I can see and I know much of life
That has not today got a price~
One cannot buy it in a shop
Or keep it at home on ice~
Everyone has the gift that was given
But few they use it true~
For it's not worth anything to anyone
But it's worth the world and more to you~
Time has diluted most things of value
Rewriting all that was ever said~
Hardly anything these days remain
As was written once then to be read~
Lost in mass opinions
Translation of a the scroll~
words do not mean what they once did
Not since the days of old~
Oceans of confusion
Still fill our world today~
And yet many still profess to know
That they alone they know the way~
Simplicity is my own view
So easy a child knows better still~
If children ran the world today
We'd have peace upon earth until~
But I am not a follower
Or a joiner of any kind~
I walk to my own set of rules
My inner vision far from blind~
