Truth

I was looking for happiness

And I got lost along the way

I threw away my map

Crushed the compas beneath my shoe

And then as I explored

Unknown territory

I found you and I thought

Finally happiness is mine

But you called yourself Love

And I thought, why would you lie

I had gone in search of joy

And found love instead

You said you knew where happiness was

And that you would bring it to me

Rest your tired feet, you said

I'll be back before you know it

And now here I am, waiting

The golden sun burning my skin

And a bird that flew above me said

He found love of his own

And I asked the bird if you were lost to me

And it laughed and laughed and laughed

You came looking for one thing, you settled for another

And now you have nothing at all, it said

So I started my journey again

And I found Truth along the way

And unlike joy and love

It didn't cause me any pain

Instead Truth told me just how life is

That happiness and love

Were merely myths

We believed in to hide from the truth

So I took Truth's hand in mine

And we walked towards the horizon

A good companion through life's journey

It is all we ever need
