Piece Of The Truth

Like the tip of an iceberg
Sticking out of the sea
Like the apple that Adam
Stole for Eve from the tree
Like a man and a woman
When their love is brand new
All we see is a little
Piece of the truth

Like the hand of a blind man
On an elephant’s hide
Like a fish making circles
In a bowl one foot wide
Like the headlines and sound bites
On the late evening news
All we get is a little
Piece of the truth

Scholars and sages
Down through the ages
On every page of our history
Try to work out
What life’s all about
But still it remains a mystery

Like the greediest miser
Keepin’ all that he can
Like the truest believer
With his bible in hand
Like the scientist trusting
Only what he can prove
All we know is a little
Piece of the truth
