What You Been Told

This is about questioning what we been told, finding for ourselves what is real and what is not.

I don't know what you been Told
But the sky above is a Billion years Old
I don't know what you been Told
But the Earth beneath grounds my Toes

When I look out from these Eyes
My Heart is troubled by what I see in the Skies
When I look out from these Eyes
My Heart is troubled by what I see, it Cries

I don't know what you been Told
This old world's been around, it never grows Old
I don't know what you been Told
But my world can't be bought nor can it be Sold

When I see children playin' in a Field
My Heart goes out, yes its been Sealed
When I see Fathers carrying their Yield
My Heart goes out, their families Meal

I don't know what you been Told
But I feel these bones are gettin' Old
It's time for me to plant my Load
It's time for me, my story Told

You might have a million Dollars
Or you just might have to Squalor
It does not matter to the Lord on High
As long as your Heart is willing to Try

I don't know what you been Told
But I feel it's time to be Bold
Let's learn our Children not to Scold
Learn to be Kind before we get too Old

Yes, learn to be Kind before we get too Old
Yes, learn that the world can't be bought or Sold
