Pitch Fork Top 10 2016

This song is a parable about walking through today’s forest of misinformation. The voices are loud, the paths are many, and not all who call out mean well. Some feed you the song they think you want to hear. But if you walk with care, check the roots before you share the fruit, and follow the light when you’ve lost your way, you’ll find the melody that never deceives.

It’s about humility, too, knowing we all wander off at times, and the courage it takes to turn back, redirect, and steady the path again. The song of truth is always there, waiting to be heard.

[Verse 1]
The forest is thick, the voices loud,
Some lead astray, some wear a shroud.
Every step feels like a test,
Which path is false, which one is blessed?

[Chorus]
Be on your toes, walk steady and wise,
Don’t let the noise be your disguise.
They’ll sing you the chorus you long to believe,
But truth’s the song that will never deceive.

[Verse 2]
Agitators hide, steering the way,
Feeding the lines that can make you stray.
Check the roots before you taste the fruit,
Seek the melody born of truth.

[Bridge]
It’s our duty to turn when we’re wrong,
Redirect the path and keep moving on.
We all get lost, but the stars still guide,
Follow the light, keep faith, keep pride.

[Final Chorus/Outro]
Be on your toes, walk steady and strong,
Don’t get lost in the forest of wrong.
Lift your head, let your spirit choose—
The song of truth will carry you through.
Follow the light, and you’ll find your way,
The song of truth still sings today.
