True Story


I feel the gazes

All the sages in the world couldn't take away the problems

The lie they tell

Is only a part of the pie they say sell

When we all fell

We were told that it was what we were all sold into

But I got news from the pews

Hope and Salvation

Mercy and Grace

Faith saith the Lord

In Him will you get through it all
