You dread the truth, You are your truth, I am my truth, Surprise, You still unaware of the life's truth! May I ask why? You dread the lies, You tell the lies, I tell the lies, Surprise, You persist in not choosing truth for the lie! May I ask why? You dread the known, You are the known, I am the known, Surprise, You hesitate to believe in the known! May I ask why? You dread the unknown, You are the unknown, I am the unknown, Surprise! You are reticent to make known the unknown! May I ask why? You dread the future, You are your present, I was my past, Surprise, You are waiting to be taken back to the future! May I ask why?

You dread the fire, You are the fire, I am the fire, Surprise, You panic at the sight of blazing fire! May I ask why? You dread the water, You are the water, I am the water, Surprise, You go on quivering at the murky waters! May I ask why?

Oh, I won't ask WHY? You dread the ignorance, You are an ignorant, I am an ignorant, Surprise, You tremble at discovering the bliss of ignorance! May I ask why?
