You who thought Your eyes could tell no lies So your life became a compromise And it was you Who had seen men dyin' You heard their children cryin' While their women weep in silence
And you who thought You were so wise Succeeded only in disguise Now and then You'd find a bridge to cross Reach the other side And you'd still be lost Evaded by the sweet smell of life
And the people that you try To show the way Never believe you Never believe you, no way
While your women weep in silence Your women weep in silence Women weep in silence
