Lyrics
Verse
A spark can shine and quickly fade,
But character is built by choices made.
Look for honesty, patience and grace,
Not only excitement in a beautiful face.
Chorus
Character before chemistry,
Truth before fantasy.
Love Yahweh first, let wisdom lead,
Choose the heart that honours what is good indeed.
Bridge / Tag
Full band rises, then clears the air,
Let truth be stronger than a stare.
