The path of piety

--- **Title: The Path of Piety** **Verse 1** In the heart of a man, piety begins, Despite the mockery, despite the sins. Step by step, day by day, Gathering virtues along the way. **Chorus** Though they scorn and they shame, Hold fast to your piety, never in vain. Little by little, you will grow, In the light of grace, let your goodness show. **Verse 2** They recall the past, they try to bring you down, But keep your eyes on the righteous crown. For every shame they cast your way, Heaven's strength will help you stay. **Chorus** Though they scorn and they shame, Hold fast to your piety, never in vain. Little by little, you will grow, In the light of grace, let your goodness show. **Bridge** "Good and upright is the Lord," He guides the humble heart, In the path of justice, where repentance starts. Through doors of mercy, prayer day and night, In the fear of God, find your guiding light. **Verse 3** In youth, remember your Creator's call, In old age, stand firm, don't let your spirit fall. For the strength to overcome, passions held at bay, Is greater than a city's conquest, let your spirit sway. **Chorus** Though they scorn and they shame, Hold fast to your piety, never in vain. Little by little, you will grow, In the light of grace, let your goodness show. **Outro** Each step in piety, though difficult it seems, Leads to great rewards, fulfilling righteous dreams. For the path of piety, though hard to start anew, Will shine with divine light, in everything you do. ---
