Horse to Water

You can lead a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
You can lead a man to the truth but
You can't make him think
And it's a sad situation when the truth is plain to see
It's a sad, sad realization when the truth
When the truth could set them free

You can tell someone that you love them
You can't make them believe
You can offer them redemption
You can't make them receive
Faced with indecision a golden opportunity
A chance for revelation
And a chance, a chance to disagree

You can't live a life that another has known
We can share the path but we walk alone

You can watch a world unfolding
Who laughs and who cries
You can spend a life decoding
Who lives and who dies
Revealed in creation, simple probabilities
Concealed in variation, the endless possibilities

You can only know what you feel is the truth
Read a thousand books you won't find the proof

You can lead a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
You can lead a man to the truth but
You can't make him think
All-consuming ideation never set a prisoner free
Open-minded conversation
Open-minded, that's the key
Revealed in creation, simple probabilities
Concealed in variation, the endless possibilities

You can't live a life that another has known
We can share the path, but we walk alone
And you can only know what you feel is the truth
Read a thousand books you won't find the proof
