The Truth

Well, I've been trying to re-learn my name
It seems like a thousand years
I've been out of frame and I
Surrender the truth is what
Is what I've needed from you
'Cause I've been floating within
Your walls of opinion
And I'm tired
I only want the truth

(I have tried so hard not to be like them)
(I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
There is a truth
There is a light
If you'd follow me there

(I've been searching for the directions and)
(I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)
There is a hope for the hopeless
I can promise you that

Yeah, well I've been accosted
The jury's been partial
But I won't surrender
To prove to you I won't lie
Under pressure of compromise

Yeah, well, an absolute measure won't change with opinion
No matter how hard you try
It's an immovable thing
It's like the visions in your bed
Or when they're streaming in your head

(I have tried so hard not to be like them)
(I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
There is a truth
There is a light
You can follow me there

(I've been searching for the directions and)
(I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)
There is a hope

And I'll come back
If you're needing my hand
The world is so broken
I'm tripping my steps
Slipping and I know why
I never thought that I'd be here
A blinding call to prayer
Has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
A purpose is needed
Before you know that you know
To never wonder what you are
And not forget where you come from

Yeah
Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh
Mm, mmm, mmmm
Well

(Is it really love you've been speaking of?)
Oh, what'd you say?
What'd you say?
What'd you say?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, what'd you say?
I said
That you need me, don't you?

There is a truth, I can promise you that
(I have tried so hard not to be like them)
(I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
Yeah
Yeah, ah

(The truth)
(The truth stands in the end)
(While you're deciding what to do)
(The truth stands in the end)
(While you're deciding what to do)
