I have to live with myself, and so
I have to be fit for myself to know.
I want to be able, as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye.
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I've done.
I won't want to look at myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me,
I see what others may never know;
I can't fool God or myself, and so
Whatever happens I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free
