THE WEIGHT OF TRUTH

 

This weighs on my heart heavily,

   And I’m sorry that I did you wrong

   It reminds me of a sad song –

An awful memory that won’t let me be!

   There’re always consequences for a lie

   And we cannot always explain why!

We make excuses, and blame other things

But in the end, it seems the same!

   In the depths of our soul comes the sound:

   “The sadness of letting someone down!”

This weighs on my heart heavily,

   The things we say we can’t take back,

   We don’t know why – my mind I rack!

But it’s the truth we all need to see.
