The truth

I´ve been trying to re-learn my name
It seems like a thousand years
I´ve been out of frame
And I surrender the truth is what
What I´ve needed from you
I´ve been floating within your walls of opinion
And I´m tired - I only want the truth
I have tried so hard not to be like them
I have found they don´t ever say what they mean
There is a truth, there is a light if you´d follow me there
I´ve been searching for directions and
I´m convinced the world doesn´t know what it needs
There is a hope for the hopeless, I can promise you that
Yeah, well I been accosted
The jury´s been partial
But I won´t surrender
To prove to you I won´t lie
Under pressure of compromise
An absolute measure won´t change with opinion
No matter how hard you try
It´s an immovable thing
Like the visions in your bed
Or when they´re streaming in your head
I have tried so hard not to be like them
I have found they don´t ever say what they mean
There is a truth, there is a light if you´d follow me there
I´ve been searching for the directions and
I´m convinced the world doesn´t know what it needs
There is a hope
I´ll come back
If you´re leading my hand
The world is so broken
I´m tripping my steps
I´m slipping and I know why
I never thought that I´d be here
A blinding call to prayer
Has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
A purpose is needed before you now that you know
To never wonder what you are
And not forget where you come from
Is it really love you´ve been speaking of?
What´d you say? What´d you say?
I said that you need me, don´t you?
There is a truth, I can promise you that
I have tried so hard not to be like them
I have found they don´t ever say what they mean
The truth stands in the end
While you´re deciding what to do
The truth stands in the end
While you´re deciding what to do
It seems like a thousand years
I´ve been out of frame
And I surrender the truth is what
What I´ve needed from you
I´ve been floating within your walls of opinion
And I´m tired - I only want the truth
I have tried so hard not to be like them
I have found they don´t ever say what they mean
There is a truth, there is a light if you´d follow me there
I´ve been searching for directions and
I´m convinced the world doesn´t know what it needs
There is a hope for the hopeless, I can promise you that
Yeah, well I been accosted
The jury´s been partial
But I won´t surrender
To prove to you I won´t lie
Under pressure of compromise
An absolute measure won´t change with opinion
No matter how hard you try
It´s an immovable thing
Like the visions in your bed
Or when they´re streaming in your head
I have tried so hard not to be like them
I have found they don´t ever say what they mean
There is a truth, there is a light if you´d follow me there
I´ve been searching for the directions and
I´m convinced the world doesn´t know what it needs
