Personal Authority



If you can change your mind you can change your grind
Personal authority can be the real find
If you can change your theme you can change your dream
Personal authority can be the real scheme
If you can change your heart you can change your part
Personal authority can be the real start
If you can change your view you can change your lieu
Personal authority can be the real clue
If you can change your mien you can change your glean
Personal authority can be the real scene
If you can change your scan you can change your plan
Personal authority can be the real span
If you can change your hate you can change your state
Personal authority can be the real fate
If you can change your source you can change your course
Personal authority can be the real force
