The Truth In the Dark
The truth is whispered in the dark
But is lost in the wind
People look ahead in life
Only to catch glimpses of the end
People saying ignorance is bliss
But knowledge is power
They say memories are like minutes
Cause your lifetimes like an hour
They say lies to get leverage
And accusations to point blame
Honesty to gain respect
And truth to bring shame
They say live your life
Like it just might end tomorrow
No time to feel regret
No time to feel sorrow
The truth may be lost in the dark
But very few can see
The real answers in life
Lie behind you and me
