It's easy to write about stuff everyone feels
The things a crowd likes to hear
What's hard is writing what isn't popular or 'nice'
Where some might think some restraint would suffice
But it's things that are needed that save the souls
And words go unheeded that don't nourish the bones
Don't tell them what they want to hear
Give them the things they don't often feel
Tell them they're wrong when you can do it with love
Because they just don't hear straight truth enough.
