Truth broke in, in the night
He stole my watch, my drapes and my knife
Now I wake unarmed in broad daylight
Truth is quiet, constant and keen
He could be in a room and remain unseen to the
Hopeful eye, he looks a lot like a lie
Truth cannot leave after truth has appeared
He’ll live by your side and he’ll stay through the years
One question remains everyday that I live
Is it better or worse to know truth for what he is, for what he is?
Truth doesn’t mean to take what’s yours
He’s really quite honest and he often abhors all the untruths told to hold him behind closed doors
Truth cannot leave after truth has appeared
He’ll live by your side and he’ll stay through the years
One question remains everyday that I live
Is it better or worse to know truth for what it is, for what it is?
Truth broke in, in the night
