"Am I young enough to believe in revolution?"
Not just revolution. Change. Forward movement. Acquisition of knowledge and wisdom.
"Am I strong enough to get down on my knees and pray?"
To ask for help. To admit to weakness and confusion.
"Am I high enough on the chain of evolution to respect myself, and my brother and my sister?"
Respect myself - so fucking important. And others; indispensable.
"And perfect myself in my own peculiar way."
To work at being the best person you can be, staying true to your own unique soul.
The quoted lyrics are from Pilgrim's Progress, by Kris Kristofferson.
The agonizing and unrequited striving to make those words reality, is my own.
