Times in my life I felt I was dying

Trials in my life I am still surviving

Like a phoenix rising up from its

own flames

I've been resurrected rise in my own name

I must face the facts,

acknowledge all I've known

across the tracks and back

finally I have grown

I must face the truth,

acknowledge all I've seen

with every fiber of my heart and soul and being

Content of Character

constant test of will

Pass or fail this test

I will sacrifice

Help me celebrate

this precious life

as the battle rages

I will carry on

True to my convictions

I shall overcome

Content of Character

a constant test of my will
