Subject: Can We Be Honest

Can We Be Honest

If you were to ask a question of me
That I thought would do you harm
How would I answer, now let me see
The truth or should I color it with charm

If I was in haste and you asked me to stay
For you really are in need of my time
If I told you the truth and went on my way
Would you consider me to be slime

If you are possessed of a certain belief
That I thought was way out of line
And told you my thoughts quick and brief
Would you accept me and say that it's fine

When asked by the boss, how to improve
The relations between management and us
Should I tell the truth, or stay with the groove
And say "There's no problems, why fuss"?

If we met on the street after you did me wrong
Would I confront you right there on the spot
Or would I play coy, talk sweet and long
While in my mind my emotions run hot

If a person was hurt and going to die
Would I talk of his upcoming death
Or "You will be ok" would I softly lie
As I listen to his last dying breath

If you are the one and I'm deeply in love
And to you I am just a good friend
Would I tell the truth and risk that I shove
And you run, bringing our friendship to end

Being honest really isn't as easy as that
We have to judge before we respond
Will it be accepted or will it provoke combat
In the end with our conscience we must bond
