Let Your Yes Be Yes
Let your yes be yes
And your no be no
Darkness looms
On either side of truth
A kaleidoscope of lies
To steal the clear vision
And life’s hope dies
Perishing bygones
Of maybe and might
Lost in transparencies
Of half truth’s flight
Illusions of impossible mix
Flash around
Beyond forever
An empty fix
Never found
Bargaining upright conjectures
To find…
Another empty answer
Made up ground left behind
Yes is yes
No is no
A dammed up river
Will not flow
Empty chills of lost amens
Dropped in buckets of manic despair
Leaving a step
To jump without hope
Half yes, half no...
Gets nowhere
Tightening its grip
An eternal farce
Is the bitter fruit
Of another dance
Before us we all have a line to walk
So, guard your mouth
Yes or no
When we talk
Today is now
And faith is true
Start by believing
He died for you
Let your yes be yes
Your no be no
In truth there is freedom…
Your life by the river
Like a tree
Will grow.
Let your yes be yes and your no be no.
Let your yes be yes
And your no be no
Darkness looms
On either side of truth
A kaleidoscope of lies
To steal the clear vision
And life’s hope dies
Perishing bygones
Of maybe and might
Lost in transparencies
Of half truth’s flight
Illusions of impossible mix
Flash around
Beyond forever
An empty fix
Never found
Bargaining upright conjectures
To find…
Another empty answer
Made up ground left behind
Yes is yes
No is no
A dammed up river
Will not flow
Empty chills of lost amens
Dropped in buckets of manic despair
Leaving a step
To jump without hope
Half yes, half no...
Gets nowhere
Tightening its grip
An eternal farce
Is the bitter fruit
Of another dance
Before us we all have a line to walk
So, guard your mouth
Yes or no
When we talk
Today is now
And faith is true
Start by believing
He died for you
Let your yes be yes
Your no be no
In truth there is freedom…
Your life by the river
Like a tree
Will grow.
Let your yes be yes and your no be no.
