The Lonely Word- Honesty
Honesty can tear apart
Lay open my wounded heart
Make those hidden tears to start
Honesty can cleanse my soul
Wash me up and make me whole
Make transparency my goal
Honesty my voice has stirred
Though it is a “lonely word”
Because of it, I am heard
Honesty, so dear to me
The window through which you see
And what sets my demons free
Honesty, my sacred vow
I give to you here and now
'Tis my kiss upon your brow
