God, Love, Truth, and Light

"...that's a tree you'll have to find yourself..."

God, Love, Truth, and Light

If you want God
I can show you to the forest
but that's a tree you'll have to find yourself

If you want Love
I can point at the moon all day
but it is the night that you'll be needing

If you want Truth
I can teach you all about addictions
but that's a drug you just can't shake

If you want Light
I can flash these shining sirens
but, sadly, most choose to fall back asleep
