Love is wings Keeps us in the air Truth can be hard But at least it's really there Not just an image But the substance deep inside Truth, I give you, my child To take with you on Your own ride You will ride with the owls at night Your own ride Sometimes you'll flee Sometimes you'll fight Fear is the mind killer The creator of rage A consul is wisdom When it comes with age They watch it step the passage Each path that you take Each thing you do And all the choices you make To face up to evil And to see it through Truth, I give you, my child To take with you on Your own ride You will ride with the owls at night Your own ride Let your good heart guide you Your own ride Sometimes you'll flee Sometimes you'll fight 'Cause I been thinking about dying And how to do it well How to stand up and face it Or just lie where I fell It's a matter of honor Having stood up to might To spend my last hour Clearing a path For your own ride You will ride with the owls at night Your own ride I will be there beside you, child Your own ride You will ride with the owls at night Your own ride Sometimes you'll flee Sometimes you'll fight
