Every day we face the cold, hard truth in this world. Whether we like it or not…whether we prefer to think positive or be negative…whether we see the glass as half full or half empty…the cold, hard truth is…
…it’s a mean world.
And this ain’t new stuff. If you’ve been alive here on planet earth for three decades or more, you’ve seen it year after year. In fact, I wrote a song about it over 22 years ago. The harsh reality is that the same stuff I wrote about in the song is going on now. In spades.
But I encourage you to look into the information found in the Bible. If it’s true and trustworthy (and it is), there’s a secret weapon you can get for yourself to be an ultimate winner. If you’d like to know what that secret weapon is, contact me. Till then…here are the lyrics to:
Cold Hard Truth
You face the future like a heart attack.
Your palms are sweaty; you’re a jumping jack.
Can’t believe the world has come this far,
And still we’re living on a dying star.
You put your faith into the promised land.
You feed the dog and still he bites your hand.
Maybe you decide you have no choice,
But you just need to learn to raise your voice.
Be unrelenting like the tiger’s tooth
And face the cold hard truth!
We hear the speeches; see the banners wave.
They sell the dreams of all the lives they’ll save.
But in between the lines are pretty lies.
They seem so right behind that straight disguise.
No reason it can never happen here.
This is the place and time to face your fear.
Financial plans end up rhetorical.
The errors made aren’t simply clerical.
Be never-yielding like the tiger’s tooth
And face the cold hard truth!
Spoon-feed the apathy and watch it grow into the cold hard truth,
And if you never care, then you will never know…
It’s such a cold hard truth…cold hard truth!
You see the party junkies everywhere.
Behind their buzz you’ll find a long, blank stare.
Their windows shut; another right goes by
Without them ever realizing why!
Live for the weekend and the gin and vermouth
And face the cold hard truth!
Endangered species aren’t the only ones who face the cold hard truth.
We’re gazing straight into the paper guns
Through all the cold hard truth…cold hard truth!
