WHERE IS THE TRUTH?
I wonder where the truth is
It's been hiding for so long
Is it in the stories
Or is it in the song?

The song that begs forgiveness
And makes the tears come down like rain
The song that starts the healing
And takes away the pain

Oh I don't know why
No one ever told me
I'm looking at the pictures
But the truths not there to see

So I wonder where the truth is
Will the truth come out someday
I can wait a little longer
But please show yourself today

But is the truth really the answer
Or more questions will it bring
Is it even worth the time
That it takes for me to sing

And I wonder if the truth the came out
Would I run the other way
Or would I turn and face the truth
Would I beg for it to stay

But for now I'll keep on looking
And I'll turn over every stone
But can someone help me please
Cause I can't seem to find it on my own

Yes I wonder where the truth is.

Why We're Here
THE DAYS RIGHT NOW ARE ENDLESS
AND THE NIGHTS ARE JUST AS LONG
YOU STRUGGLE WITH EACH PASSING THOUGHT
BUT YOU'RE TRYING TO BE STRONG

EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING HIGH THESE DAYS
IT'S HARD TO HIDE THEM NOW
YOU FLUCTUATE FROM GRIEF TO ANGER
YOU DON'T KNOW WHY, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW

BUT ONE THING THAT YOU KNOW FOR SURE
IS THERE ARE MANY DAYS TO COME
FOR YOU WERE TOUCHED BY YESTERDAY
A DAY THAT WILL NEVER, EVER BE UNDONE

SO WE OPEN UP OUR HEARTS FOR YOU
AND WE'LL BE HERE WHEN YOU NEED
A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON, AND WHEN YOU'RE
BLINDED BY THE TEARS WE'LL HELP YOU SEE

GETTING UP EACH DAY IS THE HARDEST PART
AS YOU'RE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE PAST
IN PHOTO ALBUMS AND PICTURES ON THE WALL
YOU SEE THE LIFE YOU HAD THAT DIDN'T LAST

AND WHEN YOUR DAY SEEMS DARKEST
AND YOU CANNOT FIND YOUR WAY
AS FRIENDS WE WILL STAND BY YOU
AND HELP YOU THROUGH ANTHER DAY

AND WE ARE HERE TO REASSURE YOU
THAT WE'LL BE HERE WHEN YOU NEED
WE WILL BE HERE LIKE A ROCK FOR YOU
AND WE WILL NEVER, EVER LEAVE

BUT IF THE ROCK STARTS TO CRUMBLE
WE MIGHT NEED TO HOLD YOUR HAND
AND TOGETHER WE'LL BE STRONGER
TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE A FIGHTING STAND

AND TOGETHER WE WILL HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE.

SOMEBODY IS WATCHING

THERE ARE LITTLE EYES UPON YOU,
AND THEY'RE WATCHING NIGHT AND DAY
THERE ARE LITTLE EARS THAT QUICKLY
TAKE IN EVERY WORD YOU SAY.
THERE ARE LITTLE HANDS ALL EAGER
TO DO ANYTHING YOU DO,
AND A LITTLE ONE WHO'S DREAMING
OF THE DAY HE WILL BE LIKE YOU.

YOU'RE THE LITTLE CHILD'S IDOL,
YOU'RE THE WISEST OF THE WISE.
IN HIS LITTLE MIND ABOUT YOU
NO SUSPICIONS EVER RISE;
HE BELIEVES IN YOU DEVOUTLY;
HOLDS ALL THAT YOU SAY AND DO,
HE WILL SAY AND DO IN YOUR WAY
WHEN HE'S GROWN UP JUST LIKE YOU.

HE'S A WIDE EYED LITTLE CHILD
WHO BELIEVES YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT
AND HIS EARS ARE ALWAYS OPEN
AND HE'S WATCHING DAY AND NIGHT.
YOU ARE SETTING AN EXAMPLE
EVERY DAY IN ALL YOU DO,
FOR THE LITTLE ONE WHOSE WAITING
TO GROW UP AND BE LIKE YOU.
