The Tried, The Tested, The True Poem by josh mckinney

we are the tried, the tested, the true.
but its not you, but its not you.
we will not die, we grow in size, we grow inside
experience's change us, burn and rearrange us.

so let this trial, burn me from the inside
so let this test, find only the best
so let this truth, rearrange the few
that will not die, that will not die

we are, we are, we are, we are,
nothing like you,
nothing like you,
we begin anew,
every time we grow
not stagnate and plateau

we are the tried, the tested, the true
but its not you, but its not you.
we will not die, we grow in size, we grow inside!
experiences change us, burn and rearrange us.

see many will enter but few will find it.
many will love me but few will not be blinded.
echo(by the brilliance that we are!)
one of the many, or one of the few.
echo (But its not you!)
to see through the mask, this life is a ruse.
echo (its this brilliance that we are)

we are the tried, the tested, the true
but its not you, but its not you!
we will not die, we grow in size, we grow inside!
experiences change us, burn and rearrange us.

we are! we are! we are! we are!
nothing like you,
nothing like you,
we begin anew,
for every lesson we grow!
not stagnate and plateau!

we are the tried, the tested, the true
but its not you, but its not you.
we will not die, we grow in size, we grow inside!
experiences change us, burn and rearrange us.
