I know that Truth is stronger still
Strongest
 I hold on to that truth
    in the midst of lies
Chaos
       threatens to undermine
             to shake my confidence
But
   I know that Truth is stronger still
   Strongest.
We walk through this world of chaos
           Overwhelmed
    Torn by demands
               and expectations
  Wooed by half-truths
                       and promises
         That corrupt the Truth
            and seek to show it
                             Inane
But
    I know that Truth is stronger still
    Strongest.
   And no matter what I hear
          Well-cushioned words
              And accusations
       That seek to undermine
                                my confidence
            that encourage me to adapt
                            the Truth
              to my own needs and
                              sensibilities
I know that Truth is stronger still
    Strongest
  And I will cling to that
                       Truth.
