Temptations


Temptations surround us every single day

Maybe you need food so you don't pay

You want to steal that jewelry you have your eye on

So you slip it into your pocket and you're gone

You see others doing the cool thing

So you take a little pill or a a beer

Maybe you need some money but don't have anything the bank

You go steal it out of that man or woman's wallet

Perhaps you don't know,

But temptations follow you until they grow

You don't need to given in

Because it is something that you can win

The Devil cannot have the upper hand!

To resist the temptation...

Is like the most powerful sensation.
