 Truth













Shall I pluck the golden fruit
or leave it in its stead
will it grant me all I long to know
or fill me up with dread



Will it go down like honey
and fill me up with song
will it leave a bitter after taste
and just go down all wrong



Will it cut like a double edge
where I'll feel torn in two
will it satisfy the need to know
the answers when I'm through



Shall I pluck the golden fruit
and merely take the chance
will each precious bite I take in life
be more than just a dance



Can I accept the knowledge
each morsel I'll receive
will I turn my back upon the truth
and never once believe



Hoping that I'm strong enough
to look truth in the eye
just accepting all I cannot change
one day before I die
