I had to tell him
It will make your soul bleed
But you will never see it
It will make your heart burn
And one day you will feel it
But it won’t be what you thought
Because it was drained, not filled
Even though you once smiled about it

Somebody will tell him
To master your desires is the seed
But you won’t understand it
You think it is your turn
And being a man is accepting it
It won’t be sold, but instead bought
Because it’s the garden you tilled
The fruit you chose will die in it

Somebody will say so
Somebody will say so
Live the night
Forget the light
Somebody will say so
Which way will you go?

His mind will tell him
This is how a boy is freed
But you will be a prisoner to it
They say the hard way is how you learn
And a weak man will always choose it
What you found and what you sought
Would it be you were tempted or willed
The way of your prayers will reveal it

Somebody will say so
Somebody will say so
Live the light
Reject the night
Somebody will say so
Which way will you go?
