Truth

Somebody asked me
What it really mean to be true,
Somebody tell me
Tell me what it mean to you.

You can't find it in a TV screen
You can't read it in a book, no,
You won't see it in the future
No matter how hard you look ya'll.

You know truth ain't hard to find
You know truth sitting deep inside
And that truth can be in disguise
You don't have to go far
Truth is right where you are, yeah, hoo!

Somebody asked me
What it really mean to be true,
Somebody tell me
Tell me what it mean to you.

You're trying to find it in the government ya'll
And look for it in the courthouse too,
You try to speak it in the cell phone ya'll
Waiting to hear it on the radio news.

You can't find it in a whisper,
You can't find it in a shout no,
You can't find it in a schoolyard, darling,
They sing about it in the church house.
Look out now!

I said truth getting hard to find
You know truth somewhere deep inside
You know truth it'll change your mind
And truth it may be in disguise
You don't have to go far
Truth is right where you are.

Truth, truth, yeah
You got truth,
You got truth,
Oh, yeah, hey, oh

Got to got to got to got to got to got to got to
Gotta have a little truth now,
Little truth now
How bout a little bit of,
How bout a little bit of,
Just a little bit of truth now
Somebody, somebody, somebody tell me, yeah...yeah

You can’t find it in the courthouse.

(Truth can't hide it
Truth can't fight it)
