THE CHAIN CHALLENGE

 
None of us are free
If one of us are in chains
This flies over the heads of many
But the truth herein cannot be denied
We are doing well; nothing is bad
We have worked and earned
Feel like sitting; enjoying our reward
But we cannot get comfortable
The pebbles in our shoes bother us
These are called scruples and 
It is good to have them;
You might call this possession a gift
Because we will not sit down and
Ignore what must be done
We cannot sit in comfort while
Any of our brothers are suffering
Many believe and live accordingly
Many are waiting, although 
They do not know it now, for us
To come and share the news and
Explain the need to become a follower
A big point in life; any life; and all lives
The mandate is a precept given to us
By the one who is the light
We remain feeble in our efforts and
Resort to the only thing we know
And that is prayer to the master so
That He will find for us that crack
Which will let the light shine in and
Open up our brothers and sisters
To what is important in life
We must give back in many and every way
Not until it hurts, but until it feels good
Lean on us, we will cry out, and 
It will not be long before you walk on your own
We can follow that man; together we will go
We will be amazed as we are filled with grace by
The one who walked on water
Soon it will seem that there are no chains
This is a good feeling, but we determine
To travel to the fringes and continue
We will know when the last chain falls
