Don'T Tell a Lie That's True

Whenever you go.
Million of miles away from home.
Do not say yes when you mean to say no.

Friends may fly away
And foes may come to stay 
Do not say yes when you mean to say no.

Rods may frown as the blade
And tears become your maid
Always call a spade a spade.

You may lack the golden gains 
And offered a pleasure of pains
Do not board the lair’s train

Shadows may frown at you 
And grey turns the sky at noon.
Do not tell a lie that seems true
