Someone Told A Lie

Someone told me about your...

Somebody gossiped about my...

But nobody warned us about those...

Someone told a lie

Now we don't trust each other's faces

And I don't know what to think about you

'Cause we can't stand in each other's places

And I can't trade with you

We've had times together where the sparks would fly

But in stormy weather we stood side by side

Now we're cold and distant

Watching love roll by

Just when truth was needed

Someone told a lie

Some folks say I'm a sinner

Some people claim I'm a saint

But nobody knows who's the winner

The truth was told too late

Now I was raised to believe that you're different

And I was told not to play with your kind

Does anyone know why

They were so hell bent on poisoning our minds?

Now we're cold and distant

Watching love go by

Just when truth was needed

Someone told a lie

But I'll do what I have to

You do what you can

Just to keep on searching for the pride of man

All those tears we wasted wondering why

All those years were wasted fighting lies

But I'll do what I have to

You'll do what you can

Just to keep on searching for the pride of man
