Lies

"Listen, my partner, don't you hear the rain?

See the people that danced, sweet songs they have sang.

They praise the rain, and they love it so-

The crops it will bring, the grass it will grow. "

"I hear it my darling, but I hear a storm

A disaster to dawn on your bright sunny morn,

The dance is of fear, the song is to pray

A wish or a hope to keep floods at bay"

"Well then look to the sun as it warms the earth

A mother to child, a flame to a hearth

A bringer of life, can you contest?

A gift to my children, to which it is blessed. "

"Why its true that life could not be without

How do you avoid your deserts and droughts

How do you ignore the land baked flat

Tell me what life lives in that?"

"How can you push aside the best that life brings?

I am good and bad. I am in all things!

Don't you see? You must- you do!

Without me there can be no you."

"Save your deceptions, they are lost on me.

The very absence of you is what sets me free

See my darling, you ignorant youth,

You are a lie, and I am the truth."
