Words to the clergyman

Know This

Life is a journey of several miles
While we are here, why not live it?
Not the best of all men that ever lived
But my walk was not a quiet one
I attend church service regularly
For the nourishment of my soul.
I could tell everyone by their footsteps
And none bothered to know my name
We should all live for another though
But we live for only what pays.

I never really understood humans
Some hate you for no just reason.
The chapel house houses a lot more crime
Than any maximum prison.
To love costs more than any jewelry
You are the man, I respect you
How you stand tall in front of all those men
The words you speak, they are soothing
But very few people have fire burning
In their hearts, others are just cold.
