Dark But True

When you hold the torch to maneuver my sight,

When you make me follow where you shine the spotlight

When you make me focus on what you think is right

What is it that you're hiding on the other side of the light?

Truth cannot be shown in parts, as much as you try

If it's not whole, don't call it half-truth - it is but a lie

Truth doesn't depend on what you defend or deny

In light, it is seen; yet, in darkness, it doesn't die...

Day is what you call it, but somewhere it is still night

As it dawns on you, you can only see it in hindsight

Seeing the truth is not making your torch more bright

What you need is to see from an angle that gives more insight

If you don't see the truth it doesn't become a lie

If you don't see the truth it's not because it's shy 

If you don't see the truth it's because you didn't try

If you don't see the truth it's a problem with your eye
