The
Truth
Kneeling
before you dear Lord I pray
I'm
brandished again for what I say?
A
woman can't speak her mind today?
I'm
not evil yet I was sent away?
Why
must I reside behind prison walls?
I
told the truth, now I take the fall?
A
wretched old woman remains at my side
To
hover over me and make sure I abide?
I
hold back the tears that I wish to shed
Inner
weakness I deter and I fight instead
Not
willing to compromise the truth I know
The
values and beliefs that my soul bestows
I
have no regrets for speaking my mind
The
truth they heard, no lies they can find
If
I am punished for being honest and pure
Cast
me aside, there is no lie I'll endure
