Above It All

How do you rise above it all?
So gentle and so fair
And how do you walk without a fall
And slip through evil's snare?

How'd you do that? (I've gotta know)
I've tried and tried in vain
To be so good and pure and true
When all I get is pain."

"Stop trying!" says the still-small voice
"And follow me, this way!
You're struggling to answer a multiple choice 
When the answer's very plain!"

"Remember when I said 'Choose life?' 
That's it!  It's really clear!
Nothing hidden, no secret strife
Unlocks your heart from fear."

"But if you must," He says, and sighs
"You Go Girl!  Battle On!
And when you're ready, draw thee nigh
I'LL lead you towards the dawn.

"I am the Way, the Truth, The Light,
Come!  Let's rise above
And leave behind this worldly fight
Choose Life!  Choose Light!  Choose Love!"
