The Straw Man's Quest for Truth
Born with a name in ALL CAPS
A legal fiction, a paper trap
A phantom self, a ghost in line
Created by a birth certificate sign
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
They say he's real, but he's just a trace
A fabricated mask in a hidden place
The Straw Man walks, but he's not alive
In a world of fiction, he just can't thrive
It's essential to find the true existential
Beyond the fiction, reach for potential
The Straw Man finds his divine credential
Reclaim our name, our truth essential
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
He searches for a brain, for wisdom's light
To understand the day from night
Through the fields of ignorance, he strides
Seeking truth where knowledge hides
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
Education's key, self-awareness the door
To understand the self, to learn even more
The Straw Man's quest is our own too
To find the real, the honest, the true
It's essential to find the true existential
Beyond the fiction, reach for potential
The Straw Man finds his divine credential
Reclaim our name, our truth essential
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
In the mirror of our mind, we see the spark
The light of truth, igniting the dark
Step by step, we break away
From the shadow of death to the illuminated ray
It's essential to find the true existential
Beyond the fiction, reach for potential
The Straw Man finds his divine credential
Reclaim our name, our truth essential
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
The journey's long, the road is steep
But the truth we find is ours to keep
The Straw Man fades, we break the wall
Our true selves rise, we heed the call
In the mirror of our mind, we see the spark
The light of truth, igniting the dark
Step by step, we break away
From the shadow of death to the illuminated ray
A legal fiction, a paper trap
A phantom self, a ghost in line
Created by a birth certificate sign
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
They say he's real, but he's just a trace
A fabricated mask in a hidden place
The Straw Man walks, but he's not alive
In a world of fiction, he just can't thrive
It's essential to find the true existential
Beyond the fiction, reach for potential
The Straw Man finds his divine credential
Reclaim our name, our truth essential
Straw Man, Straw Man, who are you?
Straw Man, Straw Man, are you true?
He searches for a brain, for wisdom's light
