Truth is a Feather

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Smoke

 Truth is a feather weighin’ heavy
On the shoulders of an honest man
Ain’t much of a burden
On the shoulders of the modern man

 You say you want to change your life
It’s really not that hard to do
One thing I can say for certain
Change your life, or life’s gonna change you

 People say things that fit the moment
That’s because they are afraid
They mostly say whatever
Words that fit the masks they made

 Refrain:
Don’t make you wrong
Don’t make you right
Just helps you make it through the night
Don’t make you good
Don’t make you bad
Might make you wonder what you really have

 People say truth is a moving target
Well, I guess that’s up to you
In the end you gotta find a balance
(So when you set your sights) you know your aim is true

 People make up life as it happens
Living takes up most of the time
In the end it comes down to believing
That there really is a grand design

Refrain:
Don’t make you wrong
Don’t make you right
Just helps you make it through the night
Don’t make you good
Don’t make you bad
Might make you wonder what you really have

 Faith ain’t enough for some people
They need to understand
But they wind up wishin’ and a’ hopin’
In the end that really ain’t much of a plan

 When people say things that offend you
Says a lot about them, even more about you
It tells me that your faith is lacking
In what you really think is true

Refrain:
Don’t make you wrong
Don’t make you right
Just helps you make it through the night
Don’t make you good
Don’t make you bad
Might make you wonder what you really have
