Messiah

When others turn their backs
I expect you to set an example
to be the forerunner
I know it's not easy to break taboos
and that nothing is as hard
as focusing on the right thing
But don't let it overwhelm you, get a grip
If you can't do it then no one can
It may be difficult but not impossible
but it's not enough to just repeat it
you need to understand as well
Live like it's real in your life
where there isn't too many second chances

When others turn their heads
and refuse to hear
I need you to open the path for those of little faith
Be a breakwater, an ice-breaker
create roads where there are none
and don't let your eyes wonder
Force yourself if that's what it takes
only with self-discipline can you build better
Believe in it
and other will as well
prove it's possible

When others run away
fearing the quick, tough death
I need you to take on what others evade
even if you tremble under the heavy load
don't let it fall but take it to the end
because only there will it be of any use
Believe in the truth, hold on to it
you can see it, so head towards it
Soon others will spot it as well
and the bravest shall follow
the weak you may have to carry in time
but it's something that has to be done
if you wish them to follow
The days will be hard
but try to prevail

When others give up before they have started
encourage yourself
they won't do it, never will
because all their strength goes to living
So be strong for them
be a leader, be a messiah
save what's worth saving
and leave the rest behind
but perish you can't, it's not your right
