The Sound of Truth/ As I Lay Dying/ GFDM V5/ English

we have all heard what we wanted to hear
"truth" that sounds right to our ears

but what wisdom is there within us
to live based on the feeling of our hearts?
how many times has instinct let us down
never to be thought through
never to be questioned
say what you really mean
when your ambition calls you
for what use is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?
