Shattered Fortress lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Shattered Fortress lyrics Songwriters: Myung, John Ro; Petrucci, John P; Portnoy, Michael S; Rudess, Jordan Charles; Freedom calls my name, serenity keeps me sane Happiness it dulls the pain Honest to see my place, open to other ways Willingness to understand Justice but do not judge, courtesy for other flaws Kindness it s not that hard Self-restraint of tongue and pen, inventory my daily friend Analysis, let down your guard Look in the mirror, what do you see? The shattered fortress that once bound me Fateful ascent through darkest fires I ve found the path to take me higher You re smart enough for me to trust, go live your life now Just keep these steps in your life and you ll know how If you re not sure ask yourself Have I done to them as I would have them do to me? Look in the mirror, what s that you see? The shattered fortress, fly now be free Fateful ascent through darkest fires I ve found the path to take me higher I once thought it better to be right But now I have finally seen the light Sometimes you ve got to be wrong and learn from mistakes I live with serenity now not self-righteous hate Help me be a channel of Thy peace That where there is hatred I may bring love That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness That where there is discord I may bring harmony That where there is error I may bring truth That where there is doubt I may bring faith Now that you can see all you have done That where there is despair I may bring hope That where there is shadow I may bring light It s time to take that step into the kingdom That where there is sadness I may bring joy All your sins will help to make you strong That I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted That I may seek to understand rather than to be understood And help you break right through the prison wall That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved For it is by self-forgetting that one finds It is by forgiving that one is forgiven Keep all of me, the desires that once burned me deep inside Help me live today and help to give me grace to carry out your way I am ready, help me be all I can be I am ready, help guide me and keep me free I am responsible when anyone, anywhere reaches out for help I want my hand to be there I am responsible when anyone, anywhere reaches out for help I want my hand to be there song lyrics
