truth you, me

🇺🇸🙏truth you, me I saw newspaper cover up deaths of our militarys youth that died freedoms seen before same thing happen in viet war and now

young and old should study changes what is happening
in our land because changes must come, that is whole process of life
every time life that change will give certain images, uncertain values
I don't believe in violence, I'm a God fearing man
But Id stand up for my country just as long as I can stand
Because I'm a flag waving patriotic
A rough riding And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be
And achieved in many goals that I can
I was taught to turn the other cheek, but Teddy used to say
Walk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away
Don't thread on me devil.
Said,"It looks to me like they've all gone wild
It was peaceful back when I was a child
Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
Are trying to be heard above your noise?"

And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"

A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Looks up and says,"Daddy, what is war?"
"Son, that's when people fight and die"
The little boy of three says,"Daddy, why?"

A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time another year has gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down

Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
"What is truth?"

A young man sittin' on the witness stand
The man with the book says, "Raise your hand
Repeat after me,I solemnly swear"
The man looked down at his long hair

although the young man solemnly swore
Nobody seems to hear anymore
And it didn't really matter if the truth was there
It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair

And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"

The young girl dancing to the latest beat
Has found new ways to move her feet
The young man speaking in the city square
Is trying to tell somebody that he cares

Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
Are gonna be the leaders in a little while
This old world's wakin' to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way

You better help the voice of youth find
"What is truth"
And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"
Praying all
