in order

in order to forgive the sin done to us
one must see past the wrong

in order to find serenity in chaos
one must hear the melody played in the song

in order to let the healing to start
one must stop picking at the cut

in order to live in harmony
one must use the right wrench on the nut

in order to love our fellow being
one must love oneself completely

in order to show compassion
one must say words discretely

in order to have understanding
one must remove the bricks from the wall

in order to show humility
one must learn how to bend for all

in order to live life in happiness and peace
our feelings must come from within

it’s changing our actions, becoming anew
by doing this we surely will win
