Words of Advice

© M. Scott Worthington - 1979

Realistically the man spoke to me
What he had to say made sense
He spoke of a time of equality
Where all for one and one for all
Was not in the past of tense

The time of day kept ticking
And the minds of men kept clicking
My story is all too familiar
He said to me with a smile

And if you'll listen to my words of advice
The wisdom I'm going to offer you
Will allow you to realize
That growing up is the prize

Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
He said
