paroles de chanson THE VIRTUES - AGON

Virtue is natural for a person who loves life and other people
A virtuous person does not just fulfil a certain set of rules
Without putting your soul into your good deeds
Their meaning is lost

Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

Humility, offer your abilities
To something greater than yourself
And let your service be your wealth
Humility, a subtle sensibility
Awareness of our weakness and our strength
We find the balance and give thanks

With gratitude, not just spontaneous reaction
But a feeling that we cultivate, an attitude we practice
Gratitude for the multitude of chances to improve
And for the little things we tend to take for granted

Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues
Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

We can overcome the things
We've done instead of running from the truth
And finally learn to live in tune
With humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

Patience when we are waiting for the bus
Instead of getting angry, take a breath, don't give in to the rush
Patience to hold our tongues and bow our heads
And pay attention with our hearts until the painful truth is said

Patience to let the greater plan unfold
Surrendering our urges to attain the highest goal
Diligence is never just about the payoff
The diligent find meaning and bring order out of chaos

Diligence is when we set aside desires
That would lead us into hell instead we reach for something higher

Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues
Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

We can overcome the things
We've done instead of running from the truth
And finally learn to live in tune
With humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

Charity, when we give without return
Giving freely from the heart not for something to be earned
Charity to help the spirit travel far
Giving not just what we have but giving what we are

Temperance is the balance of the soul
No longer prisoner to appetites, we learn to take control
Chastity, a form of soul security
We trade our lust of lust for physical and mental purity

Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues
Humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

We can overcome the things
We've done instead of running from the truth
And finally learn to live in tune
With humility, gratitude, patience, diligence
Charity, temperance, chastity, the virtues

We must distinguish vice from virtue
The truth from lies, and the beautiful from the ugly

We must develop the desire to grow and improve
Because not only the quality of life depends on this
But also life itself
As well as the future wellbeing of our entire society

Know yourself as best as possible
To be as much as possible for this world

And remember, virtue is a blessing to many
And never just the one
