Proverbs

Keep me from deceitful ways
Govern me with your gracious law
Even youth grows weary
Young men stumble & fall
Keep me from willful sins
Don't let them rule over me
May the words of my mouth
And the honesty they hold please you, please you
I wanna believe you, I want to believe in you
We do what we have to just to survive
Everyone is stoned once in awhile
For believing in something
The hoary head is a crown of glory
If it be found in the way of righteousness
And I took your sin & burnt it with fire, with fire
I wanna believe you, I want to believe in you
We do what we have to just to survive
Everyone gets stoned once in awhile
For believing in something
Don't live a life that's wasted
Don't live a life that's wasted
Don't live a life that's wasted Om
