Deep Down Truth

Angela Mccluskey


Your bed at night 
Awake, uptight 
Your hopes, your fears 
Your lips, God's ears 
Days come and go 
Beauty dissolves into skull 
Time keeps spinning round 
History thunders down 
Every step of the climb 
Led you to this place and time 

There's no more power in darkness than in light 
There's no more truth above you than inside 
The deep down truth, the deep down truth 

Your heart, your mind 
Uncoiled, unblind 
Ego undressed 
All time compressed 
Into that shadow on the wall 
From the raindrop waterfall 
Crawling down the misting glass 
To the future from the past 
Every step you take 
Leads you from this time and place 

There's no more strength in hatred than in love 
There's no more truth beneath you than above 
There's no more truth in sadness than in joy 
There's no more tenderness in girls than in boys 

The deep down truth 

There's no more truth in hope than in grief 
There's no more truth in a saint than a thief 
There's no more truth in fate than in chance 
There's no more truth in your mind than your heart 
There's no more justice in peace than in war 
There's no more time behind us than before 

The deep down truth, the deep down truth 
The deep down truth, the deep down truth 
The deep down truth, the deep down truth
