When you discover the truth, does your spirit rise again like the phoenix?

Question

I am facing the truth

I got to change the way I live

Can't go on this way

The price is too high to pay

After the rain I feel the sun

See how I run to my destiny

Life is a game

I got to learn how to play

I make my own rules

'Cause now I am free to choose

Courage and faith will show me the way

See how I run to my destiny

Like the Phoenix I rise

From the ashes of life

I don't need fortune or fame

Just some peace of mind

Like the Phoenix I fly

Leaving the lies behind

Future's golden for me

There is no one who can stop me now

I'm noble and strong

I'm walking down the road that I choose

Each day is a gift

And I know that I can't lose

A glorious future's awaiting me

See how I run to my destiny

Like the Phoenix I rise

From the ashes of life

I don't need fortune or fame

Just some peace of mind

Like the Phoenix I fly

Leaving the lies behind

Future's golden for me

There is no one who can stop me now

Answer 1

Who manages to find the whole of Truth at once, so that they can "leave the lies behind?"  We are lucky to find little morsels of it along the way.

You could accept a prepackaged substitute for truth by following a religion, and for a while you might feel that "no one can stop you now," but soon enough experience will prove otherwise.

Answer 2

That's beautiful.  Did you get suspended?  Why the name change?

Answer 3

It sure does.

Answer 4

“What is truth?”

“Truth” has been defined as “the body of real things, events, and facts.” (Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary)

The Hebrew term ’emeth′, often rendered “truth,” may designate that which is firm, trustworthy, stable, faithful, true, or established as fact. (Ex 18:21; 34:6; De 13:14; 17:4; 22:20; Jos 2:12; 2Ch 18:15; 31:20; Ne 7:2; 9:33; Es 9:30; Ps 15:2; Ec 12:10; Jer 9:5)

The Greek word a‧le′thei‧a stands in contrast with falsehood or unrighteousness and denotes that which conforms to fact or to what is right and proper. (Mr 5:33; 12:32; Lu 4:25; Joh 3:21; Ro 2:8; 1Co 13:6; Php 1:18; 2Th 2:10, 12; 1Jo 1:6, 8; 2:4, 21) A number of other original-language expressions can, depending upon the context, also be translated “truth.”

Jehovah is the Source of spiritual truth. In fact, the psalmist David called Jehovah “the God of truth.” (Psalm 31:5; 43:3)

Jesus acknowledged that his Father’s word is truth, and he also declared: “It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by Jehovah.’ Everyone that has heard from the Father and has learned comes to me.” (John 6:45; 17:17; Isaiah 54:13)

Clearly, then, those searching for the truth must be taught by Jehovah, the Grand Instructor. (Isaiah 30:20, 21) Truth seekers need to acquire “the very knowledge of God.” (Proverbs 2:5)

The body of truth delivered by Jesus and his inspired disciples constitutes the true Christian faith. Those “obedient to the faith” thus “go on walking in the truth.” (Acts 6:7; 3 John 3, 4)

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” said Jesus Christ to his followers. (John 8:32) Yes, the truth is liberating.  So, perhaps, it could feel like "flying like a Phoenix".
