Preface:
If you look and if you listen
You will find the answers are given
To questions you may not have known to ask
Life lessons in simple things and menial tasks
And if you dare to be so sure
You will find there\'s no need to obscure
The simple things with context and details
But you may not learn anything when you fail
Do you see the roots
When you look at the leaves
Can you smell the fruit
When you taste the tea
Do you see the sun
Or just feel its rays
You said you should run
But don\'t know which way
Do you see the fear
Gather in her eyes
When you\'re cavalier
You make her cry
When you do that
You\'re the bad guy
When you do that
Don\'t wonder why
You don\'t see the sun
When you look at the moon
You can\'t have fun
When you\'re leaving soon
You don\'t see the black
Behind the blue
You can\'t turn back
Just tell the truth
And you can the moon
Up in outer space
And the flowers bloom
Behind the garden gates
But if I asked you
From where they came
Do you have a clue
What you would say
You see the stars
When they\'re long gone
And you broke her heart
It feels so wrong
Like snow in spring
Or sleeping at dawn
Like you\'ve snapped a string
Playing a sad song
They don\'t see me
And they don\'t see you
Or what you\'d be
If your dreams came true
Or what you see
Or what you do
But you can\'t turn back
Just tell the truth
