Signed my name without lifting a pen

Well I have seen the shadow in this valley of death
I've trembled in its icy stare while drinking from its dregs
Taking my life in my own hands
I've taken my life in my own hands...

Well who am I to say I shall not fear?
When I've seen the seat where Mercy sits and scoffed at my own need for it
I've signed my name to treaties without lifting a pen
Cause the heart is a strange pretender
And the face is a poker hand...

I will write my own song, I will write my own song
From the depth that is in a soul comes a seed of hope
To write my own song.

(Dog Named David, "Write My Own Song")
