Higher Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can make somebody cry
Go on
Do what you like
I’ll be there by your side
I know what the future holds
You can set the world on fire
Yeah, if you want
It isn’t hard
I will be there looking on
To see the trail of light
As you fall
But I’ll take the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I want the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
You can fill the world with pain
Yeah, if you want
I'm feel it now
You can fill the world with hate
I’ve seen it done before
And I know how it all works out
Make a promise if you can
You know
You’ll only break it
Make a promise if you dare
Go on right ahead
And let’s see where that gets you
But I’ll take the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I want the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
Maybe you and I
One day will finally choose
A higher truth
Come let’s sit in the sun
Feel the world spin around
As the birds fly overhead
Can’t you hear the waves?
Can’t you feel the rain?
As it falls upon your face
I’ll take a truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I want the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I’ll take the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I want the truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
Maybe you and I
One day will finally choose
A higher truth
Come let’s sit in the sun
Feel the world spin around
As the birds fly overhead
Can’t you hear the waves?
Can’t you feel the rain?
As it falls upon
