Lyrics
Anything But The 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.
If they tell me that the bees
Don't make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you?
And if they tell me that the ocean
Is tired of her shores
Then tell me
What am I supposed to tell you?
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
How does the mama
Keep the baby warm
The wind Is telling us that its time
And what if we're not ready to fly
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing,
Make it strong, give it wings.
But I can't tell you anything
But the truth
And I can't tell you anything
But the truth
What is this place?
Who am I?
Why did we come here? (2x)
I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
I don't know, no, I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
