Songs of Influence Blog:
This song by Billy Joel has a whole lot of truth in it.
Anyone can tell you what they want you to hear. And if you're desperate enough for the truth, you are willing to look in even the wrong places to find it, to our peril.
But the problem is, everybody lies.
We lie to save face.
We lie to protect others.
We lie to cover the sordid truth.
Then we lie to protect our lies.
Then we forget which lies we've told to whom, and spend our time trying to cover this up with more lies.
Then we die.
Then we face God on Judgement Day.
Then we find that we can't hide anymore for our lies.
Then He tells us that lying lips are an abomination to Him (Prov 12:22).
Then He tells us that all liars will have a part in the lake of fire (Rev 21:8).
And that's the truth.
Lyrics (curtoesy lyricsfreak.com)
If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
at I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Cause you're the one that I depend upon
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
