Truth be told from within
For secrets lie in the eerie midst
Of the quiet waves
The speaker of truth
of love, kindness and all things good
shall find nothing but
and the speaker of lies
of hate, anger and all things bad
shall find nothing but
but the person who speaks of fear
of losing one close, of losing oneself
can follow the light at the end of the tunnel
and let all the emotion be water under the bridge
coming and going as waves, carrying us away
