New Levels

We all go through life's twists and turns

As they educate us to see what burns

But with every change to new levels

You will definitely meet new devils

You might be tempted to find another way

One where you're not such easy prey

And find the path of least resistance

Even if it might fight with your conscience

You'll try to find an easy way out

Even if it might lead others to drown

And find success that benefits you

Rather than help the whole crew

Remember, if you want to go fast, go alone

And try to fight life's problems on your own

But if you want to go long, go together,

Fight side by side, no matter the weather.

Also, remember sometimes the devil

is you, when reaching a new level

And the one you have to beat is you

It's a test to see if you stand or fall through

And if this has been a pattern with you

And people around you are growing few,

They'd rather stay away than be with you,

Because you'd rather be right than true,

Sooner or later you'll realize that

True love and support is what you lack.

When you push everyone away

They will all leave and never stay.
