Are You Willing

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

To see the way you treat someone else

Reflects the way you relate

To your own self?

Is it mean or is it kind?

Does it come from the divine?

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

To see how they behave toward you

Reflects their own relationship

With themselves, it’s true

Not a measure of your worth

Not a claim on what you’re due

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

To see it’s not about you?

Do you imagine their behavior toward you

Is a statement about your value, too?

Says what you’re worth and what is true?

Or could it be their pain or love

Leaking out in what they do?

A statement they keep making

That has nothing to do with you

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

To see how they behave toward you

Reflects their own relationship

With themselves, it’s true

Not a measure of your worth

Not a claim on what you’re due

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

When it hits and it feels so true,

To see it’s not about you?

Say it once and say again

Let it sink in deep within

Even when it feels like it’s about you

"This is theirs, not part of me"

Let that truth keep setting you free

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

To see how we behave reflects

The love we hold inside

Or the pain we’re going through

Not a statement on the other

Or how they behave with you

Are you willing,

(Are you willing)

To see how we behave reflects

How we relate inside our hearts

Is it mean or is it kind?

Does it come from the divine?

Are you willing, are you willing
