Say It Straight

Say it straight
Are you in doubt
What is the reason we hesitate
Like black out curtains thickens the cloud

We compromise
We gamble with life even though
It didn’t roll the dice
We suffer a heavy blow

We seem to know it better than the rest
What you do is what you think is best
Hold on
How do we distinguish between right and wrong

Human nature
I see my brothers endangered
Faith is what keeps me strong
Holding on

They say, what goes around comes around
We didn’t go to find what we found
Shame
Am guilty, am I to blame

The reason I think twice
Is not just to act wise
Life showed me a different reason
Visiting the cemetery calms me for another season

How do you tell your brother what to live for
How to avoid the life you lived before
Hypocrisy becomes the stigma you can’t fight
Of having been in prison for that night

We do mistakes
Admitting, courage is what it takes
Look at those innocent eyes
Of hers; they didn’t learn how to tell lies

Why do I smile
Bitterness was my company for every mile
Years.
She told him, don’t be ashamed of all your fears

She tried to explain to me
The bigger picture I couldn’t see
She told me, even a soldier
Has the right to shed a tear

Once upon a time, I heard a dry cry
Whispering, almost a silent ‘why’
How did the question turn to ‘dead end’
On our journey we lost a friend

Say it straight
Are you in doubt
What is the reason we hesitate
Like black out curtains thickens the cloud

We compromise
We gamble with life even though
It didn’t roll the dice
We suffer a heavy blow
