Do You Listen?

The sun can give you blisters

if you stare at it too long

And a mocking bird can steal

a lonely angel’s song

You can even find your home

in a place you don’t belong

I tell the truth to those who will listen

The more you find out

the less you will know

The younger you stay

the older you’ll grow

And you can catch death

no matter how slow

I tell the truth to those who will listen

Ask me your questions

I’ll tell you no lies

Tell me your secrets

I’ll hide them from spies

If you are made of falsehood

I’ll be your demise

Because I tell the truth to those who will listen
