The Secret
Mister T Lyrics

Time felt right but it's never right to take a deep look in your eyes
Although the timing may seem opportune, it is never a good time to be introspective and reflect on our true selves.

I held my breath, my mouth was dry, I'm not one for surprise
I was nervous and anxious about what I might discover if I examined myself too closely.

I hate the truth when it doesn't comply but I like a good lie
I don't want to face the truth if it's uncomfortable, but I'm okay with pretending if it makes me feel better.

You won't cooperate but you don't mind if I try
You don't want to reveal your secrets, but I'm willing to do what it takes to uncover them.

Oh ho, the cast is rising
The people are becoming more active and vocal in their discontent and desire for change.

They need to atone
They feel a need to make up for past misdeeds.

They dig the sermonizing
They enjoy hearing others preach to them about what they should do to make things right.

"To never be alone"
They seek comfort and companionship, so they don't have to face their problems alone.

Let me in! the secrets of Mary M.
I want to know Mary's secrets, and I'm willing to go to great lengths to find out.

Each and every whisper taken to my grave
I will keep all of Mary's secrets confidential and will never reveal them to anyone.

I wanna be your soul love don't need to be saved
I want to be the person who understands and accepts Mary for who she truly is and doesn't judge her or try to change her.

She looks at me not unkindly, I heard she was a rich man's daughter
Mary is not unfriendly towards me, and I've heard that she comes from a wealthy family.

"You come right back to me when you, too, can walk on water"
I can only be with Mary if I prove to her that I am worthy and capable of doing the impossible.

I lost sight of you in the shifting sands
I lost track of Mary because she is elusive and hard to pin down, constantly changing and shifting.

Where hundreds go to make their amends
The place where we lost sight of each other is a popular spot for people to seek redemption and make up for past mistakes.

Give them a little, they want a lot
Once people start to get what they desire, they become greedy and want more and more.

They've got their list of demands
People have a specific set of requirements they expect in order to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

The people are rising
The masses are becoming more vocal and active in their displeasure and desire for change.

They're casting stones
The people are attacking and condemning those whom they feel are responsible for their problems and shortcomings.

No more agonizing
There will be no more suffering or hardship.

"Only the fool atones"
Those who choose to apologize and make amends are seen as fools by those who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.

I don't need divine love, I know that you can save me
I do not need any form of religious or otherworldly love, as I believe that Mary has the power to help me and set me free.

The secrets of Mary, whispers and innuendo
I have heard rumors and speculation about Mary's secrets and am intrigued by what they might be.

The secrets of Mary, from silence to a crescendo
From a state of silence and secrecy, Mary's secrets have grown louder and more intense, drawing more people in and increasing their desire to know.

The secrets of Mary, I'm feeling uncouth
I feel uncomfortable and awkward about my obsession with Mary's secrets.

The secrets of Mary, we'll just make our own truth
Rather than relying on hearsay or conjecture, I want to discover the truth about Mary's secrets for myself, even if it means creating my own version of the story.

We'll just make our own truth
We will create our own version of events and reality, regardless of what others might say or believe.
