Don't Lie
Embracing Love's Truth: Nurturing the Child Within
Lyrics
Even when the child is bad, you know, you can't complain
Parenting involves accepting a child's flaws without complaining.
And even when they do you wrong, you love them just the same
Unconditional love persists even when the child makes mistakes.
When you look them in the eye they're as plain to see
When you look at them, their true nature is evident.
You're staring in the eyes of a child that you used to be
Seeing your child, you see reflections of your own past.
If you love them
Expressing love should involve fulfilling your responsibilities.
Then show them you give them what you owe them
Show your love by providing what is owed to them.
But whatever you do
Emphasizes the importance of authenticity in actions.
Don't lie
Emphatic statement urging against dishonesty.
Don't lie
Reiteration of the importance of truthfulness.
Right before you eyes
Highlighting the transformation of a child into an adult.
All grown up and gone away
Children grow up and eventually leave.
And it all depends on you if they are gonna stay
The decision of their staying depends on parental actions.
If you love them
Love involves fulfilling obligations to the child.
Then show them you give them what you owe them
Reiterating the importance of meeting responsibilities.
But whatever you do
Emphasizes the negative consequences of dishonesty.
Don't lie
A strong warning against lying.
If you don't listen
Failure to listen may lead to losing the connection with the child.
You lose them
The consequence of not paying attention to the child.
You can choose you or choose them
The choice between prioritizing oneself or the child.
But whatever you do
Reiterating the negative consequences of dishonesty.
Don't lie
A strong warning against lying, repeating the message.
Don't lie
Final reiteration of the importance of honesty.
