Truth

Here’s the thing Peer pressure, isolation and laughter Doesn’t magically make wrong right Or change a lie into truth Just because so many Who are uninformed believe Doesn’t turn fiction into fact Rewriting history doesn’t make it true No matter how many times you try Doesn’t matter if good people or fools Are leading the way If it’s down the wrong path Doesn’t matter if you say It’s for the children and the poor If it’s not the truth For only one thing Will set you free We can twist a man’s words Into whatever we want When He’s not around But when He once again Sets foot to ground Twisting is not so easily done But we did so with good intentions Will offer no excuse In the face of the Truth We too long ignored So does it matter If a few facts were off base And the Truth Just a bit embellished I wonder who among us Is bold enough to say A little white lie Isn’t really so In the face of the Truth
