What Is the Truth
Will we ever know the true truth?
If someone stares you in the face,
says a few words,
and says that's the truth...
How do you know?
The whole world could be saying a statement,
saying it's true,
with every person on every continent
shouting out that this is the truth,
what if they lie?
How would you know?
You never can tell
when a person is lying
or not.
You may think it's the truth,
know it's the truth,
but do you really know that
it's truly the truth?
The whole galaxy could be a lie,
and nobody knows it.
I could be lying,
but how could you tell?
How could I tell?
The truth will never be found, on this Earth or another.
Not even the purest of heart knows the truth.
The truth is a mystery that will never be solved,
even until after the end of time.
