The Meaning of Truth
Demanding the meaning of truth. A line from a song – Freedom for the World. With amazing words. maybe. It all depends on how we view them. They could be words of despair. Of hope. They tell us of the world the way it is. Or the way it could be.
But regardless of how we view the word, the big thing is still truth. Whose truth? Is it even a “real” truth? Or is it false hope? Maybe even an outright lie?
Do the words make us feel better about the world we live in? Or do they lead us to give up hope? Or – do they tell us that we really need to look beyond this world?
We’ll look at those things. A few lines at a time.
I thought I could do it in one article. But before I got past even the first half dozen lines, it was obvious that it’d be way to long. Too long to write. Too long to read, for most people.
And so it’s coming in installments. If you’d like to get an email when new things are added to this site, please sign up using the subscription box towards the top right – or towards the bottom of the page if you’re on a cell phone.
BTW – if you don’t know the song, here are the lyrics.
A nation of voices
Making the choices
Demanding a meaning of
truth,
We’ll pay for tears the doubts & the fears of our youth.
The prophesy’s clearer
The end may be nearer
Peace is the word of the day
I look to your heart
& let love lead the way.
– Just look around,
What do you see
Is this the way you want it to be?
We only need the strength to carry on.
Everybody all over the world,
We’ve got to get along
If we don’t get it together,
We’ll be gone.
– Freedom for you & me
Freedoms for the world
I said
Freedom for you & me
Freedoms for the world
– Think of tomorrow
Without any sorrow
Oh what a word this could be,
And where does it start?
I look to your heart & you’ll see.
People are praying that people are saying
How long can this go on?
It’s just isn’t right
to fight for the right
To belong!
everybody all over the world
Raise your voices in song
If we don’t get it together we’ll be gone!
Freedom for you & me
Freedoms for the world
I said
Freedom for you & me
Freedoms for the world
