[Verse 1]

You can make somebody cry

Go on, do what you like

I will be there by your side

I know what the future holds

[Verse 2]

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

Oh

[Chorus]

But I’ll take the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

[Verse 3]

You can fill the world with pain

Yeah if you want, I'd feel it now

You can fill the world with hate

I’ve seen it done before

And I know how it all works out

[Verse 4]

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

Oh

[Chorus]

But I’ll take the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

Maybe you and I one day

Will finally choose a higher truth

Hey

[Bridge]

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?

[Chorus]

I’ll take a truth

A higher truth

A higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

A higher truth

[Chorus]

I’ll take a truth

A higher truth

A higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

A higher truth

Maybe you and I one day will finally choose

A higher truth

[Outro]

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?
