Reliance

I have chosen partners in the past
Relationships that I knew would never last
I built on love and hoped for all the best
It started good but in the long run failed the test
So I ask you now what measure do you use?
When it's your business or your family that will lose
Do you have a list and check off every box?
Do you flip a coin or trust your lucky socks?
How do you ever know what a man will do?
When he has the chance to take advantage of you?
Do you just trust and take it on the chin?
Hire all your friends, or choose colleagues from your kin?
Do you lose trust, keeping work tightly to your vest?
Taking all the weight of success or failure on your chest
Is it as he said that there are those on whom you can rely?
And when you believe you can take a great big sigh
For in their hearts they feel the same way that you do
Without each other we will never make it through
So choose from those that have made committed choice
To follow the light and listen to the spirits voice
Because in the end if you really want to be sure
You have to go to the only one that holds the cure
When it comes to partners choose only those who believe
Count these good people among the blessings you receive
