G       Em  G      Em            G   Em G Em
I will fight will fight with my heart.
I will fight, will fight with understanding
In my mind the weather never changes
Skill overcomes unfavorable conditions

Chorus:
A                 C             D          F
A straight line exists between me and the good
things.
A                 C              D           F
I have found the line and its direction is known
to me.
A                        C            D       F
Absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction
A                 C          D                 F
Any intrusion is met with a heart full of the good
thing.

Try to compare what I am presenting
You will meet with much frustration
Try to find similar situation
You will always find the same solution

Chorus:
As the heart finds the good thing,
the feeling is multiplied
Add the will to the strength and
it equals conviction
As we economize, efficiency is multiplied
To the extent I am determined the result
is the good thing

Gm                       F
I have adopted this and made it my own:
Gm                          F
Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.
Gm                       F
I have adopted this and made it my own:
Gm                          F
Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.
