The Honest Man

Lyrics

He lives his life the best he can With a job n' a family It was once something new His wife says "You feel special" n' he says, "You do too" He asks himself "What's real?" Despite the love he feels Days go by moments show Love can grow he knows The past is always gone The world has it's way whether or not he goes or stays No matter how fast he runs He lives briefly then he's done, he knows Reality is a mystery defined by how his heart grows N' reality is hard to see But the only truth he knows-he's the honest man He keeps on believin' What he does he should What he can't he would He's taught n' learns religion n' some philosophy He doesn't know what's real He just knows how to feel "I think therefore I am I guess," N' he makes a dream for the rest Truth becomes a test N' everybody's the same just different in this game He knows, what he can He's the honest man Reality is a mystery defined by how his heart grows N' reality is hard to see But the only truth he knows-he's the honest man.
