Truth, the female version

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

When I was born
I learned real early
That folks with power
Must be obeyed
As I grew older
I picked the leaders
Who seemed like winners
With them I stayed

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

These leaders taught me
All kinds of wisdom
About the world
What's right and wrong
They read from books
They gave examples
And then directions
I went along

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

I didn't question
Cause every person
Who was in my circle
Said it's all true
That all the preachers
And politicians
Teachers and parents
Know more than you

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

Until one day
I found them lying
'Bout things I'd seen
With my own eyes
And then I noticed
It wasn't just once
Foundations crumbled
I realised

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

That maybe truth
Is not just given
Not just written
Not just learned
Maybe truth
I have to work for
Have to question
Have to earn

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

I start with facts
I choose my values
I reach decisions
But even then
I keep on looking
The world is changing
What's true on one day
May change again

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

The world ain't simple
If you can see it
I guess you got that
Choice to make
And it may serve you
But not me, brethren
I'd rather struggle
Than be fake

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth

I want
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Truth
