Although what shines need not be wrong beware dark lies that shadow truth, distract the old, confuse the youth with specious lyrics from a song. I wonder. Must I sing along? Some tunes that once enchanted me now don't make sense. Be just and free, merciful, alive and stable, driving out false dreams and fable, preferring joy to pleasantry.
