within reason

    lay out the answers and the truth is seen
    what's most desired is not the thing most known
    we watch the yearly fading of the green

    you play your parts and then pass from the scene
    the normal given's not what is most shown
    lay out the answers and the truth is seen

    an honest explanation has no sheen
    the prettiest flower is the one first blown
    we watch the yearly fading of the green

    what we call virtues others take for spleen
    you seek plain words but find out they have flown
    lay out the answers and the truth is seen

    truth vanishes from places in between
    the only thing that echoes is the stone
    we watch the yearly fading of the green

    you've never understood just what we mean
    and for your crimes we all must now atone
    lay out the answers and the truth is seen
    we watch the yearly fading of the green
