Analysis of You Can Fully Trust



For things that are secret, with things that are just,
in things that are private,
who can you fully trust?

For things that are valued, with things that are just,
in things that are precious,
who can you fully trust?

For things that are phasic, with things that are just,
in things that are central,
who can you fully trust?

For things that are decent, with things that are just,
in things that are upright,
who can you fully trust?

For things that are loving, with things that are just,
in things that are selfless,
who can you fully trust?

For things that are honest, with things that are just,
in things that are sincere,
Who can you fully trust?
