Lyrics
Truth
Was gonna write a song 'bout love, 'bout dreams
Was gonna write about fear, hate, or greed
I try to write about peace sometime
'Bout war torn times
'Bout the people who decide
Maybe tell you my point of view
Hope you see it too
The way I do
But nothing makes sense
Doesn't seem to matter
You talk about peace then watch the whole world shatter
You could be rich or be in the gutter
Preach until your face is blue in color
The world it spins 'round so fast
Weaving us a web that isn't built to last
You can make your way from France to Iran
And never leave the house
Never shake a hand
Nothing makes sense
Doesn't seem to matter
You talk about peace then watch the whole world shatter
You could be rich or be in the gutter
Preach until your face is blue in color
Was gonna write a song 'bout love, 'bout dreams
Was gonna write about fear, hate, or greed
Maybe tell you my point of view
But nobody's listening, nobody's looking
Nobody's feeling, nobody's kissing
Nobody's hugging, nobody's touching
Nobody's sharing
Nobody's hearing
But you
But you
But you
So I'll write a song 'bout dreams
I'll write about fear and greed
I will write about peace sometimes
And yes, I will write about war torn times.
I write, Truth.
