Truth and Light
Today I made myself in life anewBy going to that royal fount of truth
And searching for the secret of the few
Whose goal in life and aim is joy forsooth
I found at last the friend and counsellor
That taught me all that I in life should know
It is the soul the sovereign chancellor
The guide and keeper of the good you sow
I am advised: Go ye have faith in sel
And seek once more the guide that lives in you
Much better than the world of sordid pelf
Alas! I found the counsel to be true
Aha! I know right now that I shall see
The good in lif and be a better man
I will by thought and deed pull all to me
In saving others yea, every one
Go down and search yourself awhile in part
And tell me all of what vou see and hear
Isn't there something pulling at your heart
Tell me the truth and have ye then no fear
There is a voice that speaks to me within
It is the Soul that longs for you to know
For you in truth and light may ever grow
-Marcus Garvey
