Analysis of Right
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
I don't want to be wrong..
I want to be right.
I want to be able to take up the fight...
I can do nothing
I know this is true.
Can I ask to be like you?
To follow your example in all my ways...
To be a blessing...
To give you praise.
This is all that I can do
Help me Lord to be like you.
