Song of Self-Control – The Guiding Roots
Verse 1
Self-control wakes with the quiet dawn,
Holding the night until light is born.
Morning mist on the patient land,
Life unfolding by wisdom’s hand.
Self-control grows like a rooted tree,
Standing firm through eternity.
Branches rise but the roots stay deep,
Guarding the soil where promises keep.
Pre-Chorus
Seed in the ground,
Time in the soul,
Nature is teaching
The art of control.
Wind through the forest,
Tides in the shoal,
Earth keeps the rhythm
Of self-control.
Chorus
Self-control flows like a guided stream,
Strong and steady with a quiet gleam.
Holding the course where the waters roll,
Carving the path of the centered soul.
Self-control grows like a vineyard vine,
Pruned with care so the fruit can shine.
From root to bloom let the spirit console
The living strength of self-control.
Verse 2
Self-control stands like a mountain high,
Watching the clouds wander through the sky.
Storms may come and the winds may blow,
Yet the peak stays calm below.
Self-control shines like the evening star,
Guiding the traveler from afar.
Constant light in the velvet night,
Keeping the wanderer’s path in sight.
Bridge
From seed to stem,
From bud to vine,
Balance grows
Through space and time.
From earth below
To heaven’s role,
Wisdom blossoms
In self-control.
Final Chorus
Self-control moves like the ocean tide,
Strong and gentle, deep inside.
Across the fields let the spirit extol
The quiet power of self-control.
Self-control sings through ancient trees,
Whispering truth in the evening breeze.
Through every heart the spirit makes whole
The steady fruit of self-control.
