"One Accord"

“One Accord”

I’m a young adult going through life

Like all the others I’m going through strife

I’m just trying to do the best I can

Grow up and be a man

I don’t take girls out on dates

When the weekend comes I don’t stay out late

I don’t watch movies or TV

My friends are no longer here to see

When it’s hot I don’t go to beaches or the pool

I no longer even have time for school

I’ve left mom and dad back at home

Everything is gone that I've ever known

I work all the daylong

I can’t call in sick when yesterday was too strong

I go straight through the holidays

Sundays through Saturdays

People yell and throw things at me

I’m the last person most people want to see

I get sent out in the shine or rain

I go to work even in pain

The day starts just past dawn

I go out and take this world head on

I’m out here with my sisters and my brothers

We try to go out and help so many others

We don’t do it for the fame

We never ever feel ashamed

We stand for what is right

We work so hard to spread this great light

We do it for a Friend

Who's with us until the very end

We all knew the immense sacrifice

And yet were all willing to pay the price

We all chose to do what we do

Because we all know that it’s true

We don’t worry what people say

We just go ahead and lead the way

Take things just as they come

It will never stop until it’s done

Life is but a great big test

We’ll attempt to rise above the rest

For Him we have given our lives

We look to Him with unwavering eyes

I will stand amongst the front line

I’ll shall be there time after time

I'll seek to make my parents proud

I’ll make certain my voice is clear and loud

We all go forth in one accord

Because we are all servants of our Lord
