Selflessness

Selflessness
Selflessness
Life is just a game,
people play it just to win,
not understanding compromise,
they never make it to the end.

Its played through give and take
with the emphasis on give.
You must believe in selflessness
if you really want to live.< p>

I used to wanna take,
and satisfy my greed.
I could not see your pain,
and never saw you bleed.

But, now I see the light,
as its shining through your eyes.
How could I be so blind,
ignoring all your cries?

Selflessness is in order,
and good deeds should never go undone.
Because when I see you in the mirror,
I see my victories were not won.

So I make to you this promise,
and hope others can see it too.
I will bury all the selfishness,
and from this day be true to you.

Thank you Kristen............

Thank you Kristen............ I just hope others will be so kind

I created the sound of madeness, wrote the book on pain, and somehow I'm still here to explain.....That the darkest hour never comes in the night, you can sleep with a gun, but when you gonna wake up and fight.......for yourself------ Shinedown
