Lying I's
We live and die by what we think
Have I touched you, have you touched me.
We rate ourselves by the good we do
Have I helped you, have you hurt me?
Fool me once, shame on you
A man answers to himself alone
Fool me twice, shame on me
Truth becomes the stuff of dreams
Can we speak the truth about ourselves
Did I fool you, did you fool me
Can we survive the lies we tell about ourselves
Did I lie to you, did I lie to me
The search for truth and for our worth
The quest for love and spiritual birth
The road to peace and a giving life
The honesty required is the stuff of strife
What is gained and what is lost
What is won and at what cost
Are there winners and who pays the price
Is there such a thing as a righteous life
We live and die by what we think
Have I touched you, have you touched me.
We rate ourselves by the good we do
Have I helped you, have you hurt me?
Fool me once, shame on you
A man answers to himself alone
Fool me twice, shame on me
Truth becomes the stuff of dreams
Can we speak the truth about ourselves
Did I fool you, did you fool me
Can we survive the lies we tell about ourselves
Did I lie to you, did I lie to me
The search for truth and for our worth
The quest for love and spiritual birth
The road to peace and a giving life
The honesty required is the stuff of strife
What is gained and what is lost
What is won and at what cost
Are there winners and who pays the price
Is there such a thing as a righteous life
