at the quick moment one can't lie
all that we say must have some weight
the answer's hidden in the sky
each one that's born must one day die
only the unlucky may know the date
at the quick moment one can't lie
the bold as much as the very shy
know that they cannot avoid fate
the answer's hidden in the sky
one just cannot break down and cry
nor can one yet erase the slate
at the quick moment one can't lie
each will must shatter by and by
the loudest lion sleeps in the crate
the answer's hidden in the sky
you'll eat another slice of pie
there'll be no crumbs left on the plate
at the quick moment one can't lie
the answer's hidden in the sky
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
