A Man With Integrity

Our son constantly test his mom and me Why the truth in life is so key Can't he see all the trust he loses In our ability to foresee what his future could turn out to be When he has no problem looking us in the eyes To tell his despicable lies When it just makes us want to cry Looking for answers about why When it gets away from perception of what others see The man that his mom and I have raised him up to be A man with integrity who is able to keep his promise To never lie to always reach for the sky We taught him that anything in life worth having Requires him to be straight with others So he doesn't always have to run for cover In spite of your lies that jeopardize So many things you do not realize Because when you learn to disguise the truth That compromise your future On which you have to rely To be able to get by We are here to advise not criticize Life is not about the lies To that, your mom and I can testify We would like to summarize You will never see life's highest high's It will only advertise You're a man who is about the lies Where few can sympathize It will only capsize all your hopes and dreams That fills your life with the sunlight That holds you upright in Gods light Putting your life in flight Allowing you to become a man with integrity That everyone can see Who we brought you up to be So please don't ever lie to anybody If you want your life to be happy and free Because people will show you respect From what reflects from your eyes, Not your dirty little lies
