'Tegrity
Integrity is such an important part of my life
It speaks truth and honor, it seeks justice for what’s right
Because in a world filled with confusion and chaos
Integrity is the moral compass that leads us to see the light
Even when faith dictates awkward and archaic thinking
Our minds should feel something’s wrong with these decrees
Keen intuition will make the heart feel like its sinking
Sensing something sinister that seems like a grisly disease
Such was the rhetoric I once heard from a pulpit
A leader of faith should never spout apathy or prejudice
A person from a different faith is still a human being
Or else we should be ready for a mass exodus
Belief in a higher being should bring enlightenment
But organized religion twists it to fit their sordid plan
Then all integrity and humanity goes out the window
Because hatred and bigotry has gotten out of hand
It speaks truth and honor, it seeks justice for what’s right
Because in a world filled with confusion and chaos
Integrity is the moral compass that leads us to see the light
Even when faith dictates awkward and archaic thinking
Our minds should feel something’s wrong with these decrees
Keen intuition will make the heart feel like its sinking
Sensing something sinister that seems like a grisly disease
Such was the rhetoric I once heard from a pulpit
A leader of faith should never spout apathy or prejudice
A person from a different faith is still a human being
Or else we should be ready for a mass exodus
Belief in a higher being should bring enlightenment
But organized religion twists it to fit their sordid plan
Then all integrity and humanity goes out the window
Because hatred and bigotry has gotten out of hand
