It takes real courage
to be good in this world.
You never what monster lies hidden
under a hood in this world.
You never know
if the one you're helping
deserves your help...
You never know
if the one holding your trust
also holds a knife at your neck...
You never know
if those tears are really tears
or just a drop of fake...
You never know
if they help you because they want to
or is it for their own sake...
What if you try to help that man,
you go near him, a ghoul's unfurled?
Or what if he really needs help?
It takes real courage to be good in this world.
