Is it true what I heard about the Son of God
Did he come to save, did he come at all
And if I dried his feet
With my dirty hair
Would he make me clean again
They say they don`t know when but a day is gonna come
When there won`t be a moon and there won`t be a sun
It will just go black
It will just go back
To the way it was before
I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride
And every man wanted her and so did I
And so did I
But she up and died
In a fit of vanity
Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
And they will kill a man for what his father has done
But what my father did
You know it don`t mean shit
I`m not him
So you think I need some discipline well I`ve had my share
I have been sent to my room, I`ve been sat in a chair
And I held my tongue
I didn`t plug my ears
No I got a good talking to
Now I dont know why but I still try to smile
When they talk at me like Im just a child
Well Im not a child
No I am
Much younger than that
And now I have read some books and I have grown quite brave
If I could just speak up I think I would say
That there is no truth
There is only you
And what you make the truth
So I will just sing my songs and I`ll pass a hat
Then I`ll leave your town and I`ll never look back
No I don`t look back
Because the road is clear
Layed out ahead of me
I`ll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar
We`ll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
And we will share a drink
Yeah we`ll share our fears
And they will know how I love them
They will know how I love
They will know how I love them
