How can I know what to ask When every thought is at war with the last Every time I meet a need Am I supporting someone's greed Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you The Victim and the King: the rebel and the Law The Lion and the Lamb: the softness and the claw How to step back from the brink Exhausted by things that I overthink If the planet's dying by my hand What does it mean to take a stand Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you The Victim and the King: the rebel and the Law The Lion and the Lamb: the softness and the claw How can I know what to do The right and good ways that I thought I knew Have become so entwined With the cruel and unkind Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you The Victim and the King: the rebel and the Law The Lion and the Lamb: the softness and the claw Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you The Mother and the Son: all-doing and undone The Mother and the Son: all-doing and undone
