Are you true to yourself?

I'd rather hear a bird sing than a dog bark
do you see the light or watch the dark?

I'd rather feel fresh air than a desk-top fan
do you want to run a race not already ran?

I'd rather read your face than see your e-mail
do you wish your best laid plans didn't fail?

I'd rather be a happy loser than a winning sinner
do you prefer a restaurant to a TV dinner?

I'd rather smell the flowers than a burning barbecue
are your funds empty when bills are over-due?

I'd rather make a positive difference with everything I've got
are you true to yourself or someone you're not?
