I'm torn between what's wrong and right
Comforting blindness, cruel sight
Suffering and pain I see
But some peace there has to be
Traditions, lies, what does it matter
As long as they make me feel better?
Truth and wisdom can't be bad
But how come they make me sad?
Ignorance is bliss, they say
I did believe it 'til this day
But now all blessings I receive
Cannot withstand reality
And though it's hurting me to see
The daily pain and misery
I'll never close my eyes again
As from the truth too long I ran
Comforting blindness, cruel sight
Suffering and pain I see
But some peace there has to be
Traditions, lies, what does it matter
As long as they make me feel better?
Truth and wisdom can't be bad
But how come they make me sad?
Ignorance is bliss, they say
I did believe it 'til this day
But now all blessings I receive
Cannot withstand reality
And though it's hurting me to see
The daily pain and misery
I'll never close my eyes again
As from the truth too long I ran
“Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.”
-Alan Alda
Will you open your eyes? Or are you afraid of what you might see?
