Truth Hurts

Deep in my mind, I see the truth Deep in my heart, I can feel it Truth is the way, but not easy Watching evil and all the decay I fought for justice years ago I faced corruption all of the time When there is a network, it’s done Justice isn’t possible without many people My best friend who was a Lieutenant, Gave me the 2 ½ best years of my life He was killed in the process He sacrificed his life, doing what is right It will be with me forever The truth hurts deeply, it always will But without truth, nothing will change!
