When should the truth be left unsaid?
And when it is better to be honest instead?
When should we fight and when should we leave?
When should we question and when should we believe?
Should we give in or stand our ground?
How hard should we fight for the love we’ve found?
When should we cry and when should we stay strong?
How can we tell right from wrong?
Should we stay silent or should we speak?
These are the answers that we all seek.
These questions will come up wherever you go
All these answers are simply hard to know,
Trust your heart and keep an open mind
For you never know just what you may find.
But you will make mistakes like any other
And keep that in mind when you judge another.
