Some people find religion, and well, that's fine by me,
Some people like to clean, work with freshened pants and socks,
And some people like to sing, because that helps them to see,
But me, well, I've found my inner strength, by thinking I'm a fox,
And that may sound so strange to you, to hear me say such things,
To find a way to base everything on, by thinking I have a tail,
But to me it just makes so much sense, to me it's just the thing,
That can keep me strong inside, keep the wind filling out my sail,
Because I know I'm not a fox, I don't need to see a mirror to know,
But the fact is now I'm different, I feel different to you all,
I can stand in front of you all, feel that this is all my show,
I don't feel that I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean I can't stand tall,
And maybe being a fox wouldn't work for you, maybe it's not the thing you need,
Maybe you want to be a wolf, or a lamb, or a horse, goat, bat or bee,
And then you've got your religion for life, you've wrote your own personal creed,
Because not everyone really wants to be a fox, but I think it works for me.

I think I'll explain this. :0)
Basically, I've been looking for a religion, but I was a bit messed up. It came down to a few things.
1) I don't want a religion where I have to look up to someone. I want to look up to myself, not someone else.
2) I know I'm going to die at the end of all this. I'm not going to be rewarded.
3) What I really want, is inner strength, inner peace, etc. Being able to cope with myself, cope with my problems on my own. Not have to ask someone for help all the time, but to be able to be a lone person, just like everyone else, with their own little problems, and be able to cope with them. Sure, sometime I'll need a little bit of help, but strength has to come from within, not from being inspired by someone.
And then thinking like this, it dawned on me.
I judge humanity by how I believe animals are. And to me, the animal with the most inner strength is the fox. The fox has been through a lot, sure, but he goes on with life. He can smile, and he can laugh, and he can enjoy everything. He sees much in life, and he can protect those he loves. He's caring, but knows when others need their space.
And for the longest time when I was a child, I used to pretend I was a fox. Not by walking around on all fours and sticking a tail on me, but by simply having the mentality of a fox.
It's difficult to explain, but animals will always be more of a way of seeing people. I had a friend called Dafydd, and we always used to sit around and talk about who we thought these people were, what animals they were. Lions, bears, horses, sloths, bees, etc. Life was so much easier that way.
So yeah, perhaps it wouldn't work for you. But to me, it works perfectly. Because it's so much easier to see we're all so different. Instead of classing us all as humans, I can see that some of us just can't live the same way as others do. We all have our own religions. :0)
And maybe I don't believe in your God, and maybe I don't think your believes are right, and maybe I don't want to be a bear. But I'm a fox. It's who I am, it's who I was, and for the longest time I'd forgot that. It makes me feel so fantastic inside, and that's all I really wanted. Not to have to lean on something when it suited me, just tell myself to stand tall for just a little longer, or if I do fall over, don't expect someone to come pick you up, but pick yourself up.
And for the last few years I've somehow lost that. But I've magically regained faith in myself. And for that to happen, I have my friends to thank. Well, all of you, Christ, if you're reading this, well thank you.
And hell, maybe one day this won't work for me. And maybe one day I'll have to change myself again to give myself inner strength, but I'm not afraid to do that.
All in all, religion is good. Religion does not mean going to church and looking up to an almighty presence. I used to think religion was a way to make you simply 'forget' that the world is messed up, but not now. Religion is how you give yourself inner strength to face that messed up world, and well, I think everyone needs inner strength. Whatever works for you, that's all. :0)
Explaination over, probably didn't explain a thing, but never mind. :0D
