Truth — John Mellencamp Lyrics

Truth Song Lyrics

---

when grace has abandoned and forgotten you
and you see through everything
that you thought was true
and the fruit is rotten and the crops have all died
there's no dream for you to dream anymore
and you've been knocking on heaven's door
but there's no answer and you receive no reply

but you can see with those eyes
and you can hear with those ears
and you can speak with that tongue
the truth looks so far away
but now it's clear

double talk, liar liar
the truth has come to set you on fire
the lie is well spoke
but the truth is well hid
say hello, hello to a new beginning
say goodbye to what now is ending
your pathway to walk down is very clear

but you can see with those eyes
and you can hear with those ears
and you can speak with that tongue
the truth looks so far away
but now it's clear

so hooray, hooray for tomorrow
a better place to forget all your sorrow
the trumpets are blowing

and the music is clear
but you can see with those eyes
and you can hear with those ears
and you can speak with that tongue
the truth looks so far away
but now it's clear
you can see with those eyes
and you can hear with those ears
and you can speak with that tongue
the truth looks so far away
but now it's clear
