EVERYBODY FLEES
Every person comes to the day of accountability,
as we are cornered into responsibility,
with a conscience that's clear we will make it through,
to continue our lives on the ways that are true.
When this day arrives all our friends will flee,
traditions and cultures won't stand by thee,
our leaders wash their hands off us,
as we fall and get trampled by the bus.
Even family will turn and run for cover,
as they fear the darkness that them can smother,
man alone we must face this trouble,
as we fall and battle through all the rubble.
Always keep your conscience clear,
live by the virtues that are pure and dear,
it may mean leaving our traditions behind,
living on paths of truth that we find.
