By now, we know this that behind every smile.
There is a frown.
Behind every life.
There is death.
There's just no way avoiding truth.

Behind every success.
There is failure.
Behind every prisoner.
There's a victim.
Truth must be recognized.

Behind every victory.
There's a loss.
Behind every dream or fantasy.
There stands reality.
It pays to believe.

Behind every denial.
There is a truth.
Behind every evidence.
There stands proof.
Either you innocent or guilty.
One will eventually work for you.

Behind every hatred soul.
There's someone more lovable.
Behind every sinner.
There's a saint.
We all are pretenders in the eyes of Christ.

Some of us must do bad.
In order to do right.
Even one of his disciples didn't get it right.

Behind every decision.
There's a good one or bad one.
Hey! we only human.
Far from perfect.

Behind every regret.
Stands our chance to apologize.
Behind every child.
Is a dream.
We adults should support their dreams.
Not push them to the extreme.

Behind every wealthy soul on earth.
Many are poorer than they ever thought possible.
We know the poor shall inherit the earth.
So they have all the gold.

We all that somewhere good and evil resides.
And behind the beginning of sin was that serpent.
Who used manipulation for a purpose?

More than anything, we know of in existence.
Behind this earth stands a future.
Which is dictated by our past.
This is, why we living in the present.
