"HONESTY PAYS"

Chorus:
Don't try to run, don't try to hide,
Don't cover up your feelings inside,
Nothing is solved by running away,
Let's face the facts, honesty pays.
Don't try to run, don't try to hide,
Don't cover up your feelings inside,
Nothing is solved by running away,
Let's face the facts, honesty pays,
Honesty pays.

If we are right, We needn't fear to face the light.
If we are wrong, We'll gain nothing by holding on.
Let's move out from the shade,
Right the wrongs that we've made,
Strip away the coverings, start again.

[Repeat chorus]

We must attack, if we want the walls of pride to crack.
Let's open our lives to know what's real and what's a lie.
Let's move out from the shade,
Right the wrongs that we've made,
Strip away the coverings, start again.

Chorus:
Don't try to run, don't try to hide,
Don't cover up your feelings inside,
Nothing is solved by running away,
Let's face the facts, honesty pays.
Don't try to run, don't try to hide,
Don't cover up your feelings inside,
Nothing is solved by running away
Let's face the facts, honesty pays.
Don't try to run, don't try to hide,
Don't cover up your feelings inside,
Nothing is solved by running away,
Let's face the facts, honesty pays.
Honesty pays, -honesty pays.
