A Journalist’s Song

A journalist asked me:
“What to do?”
And me I said: “Simply be true!”
“Simply be true!” “Simply be true!”

A bakery-lady asked me the same,
and me I said, I said again:
“Simply be true!” “Simply be true!”

But back again to the journalist.
She asked me now: “What shall I say?”
And I said: “If you just criticize
and blame
you might gain some fame,
but if you show the Truth
you’ll be like a door!”

“What is Truth?” she asked me now,
and I said: “A billionaire and an unknown Hobo
– both are the same, you know!”
“Both are the same, you know!”

And I thought about the bakery-lady:
“She still is baking bread for you and me.”
And then I said:
“Simply be true!” “Simply be true!”
“Simply be true!”
