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
|
What I've needed from you
|
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 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 been accosted
|
The jury's been partial
|
But I won't surrender
|
To prove to you I won't lie
|
Under pressure of compromise
|
An absolute measure won't change with opinion
|
No matter how hard you try
|
It's an immovable thing
|
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 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
|
I'll come back
|
If you're leading my hand
|
The world is so broken
|
I'm tripping my steps
|
I'm 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 now that you know
|
To never wonder what you are
|
And not forget where you come from
|
|
Is it really love you've been speaking of?
|
What'd you say? 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
|
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
|
