Truth & Lies by Us3
Truth & Lies
A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
But I can�t find the words that properly describes
The problems that arise
So I gotta decide to either keep it bottled inside or
swallow my pride
But I got God on my side I�m a follow his guide
So I got down on my knees, apologized
For all the times my son looked in his fathers eyes and
saw the lies and alibis
Next day to my surprise when I woke at sunrise
I saw my son rise right next to me
Put his hands on my head and said to me
In a voice best described as heavenly:
�The truth shall set you free�
�Stop letting me walk around with blindness on
I�m relying on you to teach me right from wrong
Cause one day I�ll be gone, won�t be a child for long
You�ve found your words, now go write your song�
(chorus)
Who, what, when, where, why?
How do I find which way to reply?
Ask me no questions I�ll tell you no lies
Surprise, the truth�s right in front of your eyes
Riddle me this
You see a man slitting his wrists
And he�s rich
Beautiful women wanna give him a kiss
He was given a gift but it wasn�t something he wished
He�d rather throw it all away for some ignorant bliss
To exist or not to exist?
That�s a question I try to resist
Deep like a bottomless pit
So I swallow my pride and follow my wits
My motto is this: Hold your head high
You could call it a risk
But if I can�t live on my feet I�ll die on my knees
Sowing the seeds of the struggle, I gotta be free
Or better yet I gotta be me
I gotta believe that if the truth is a lie then
