Truth (feat. Lily & Madeleine)

John Mellencamp


When grace has abandoned
And forgotten you
And you see through everything
That you thought was true
And the fruit is rotten
And the crops have all died

There's no dream for you
To dream anymore
And you've been knocking on yesterday's door
But there's no answer
And you receive no reply

But you can see with those eyes
And you can hear with those ears
And you can speak with that tongue
The truth looks so far away
But now it's clear

Double talk,
Liar liar
The truth has come
To set you on fire
The lie is well spoke
But the truth is well hid

Say hello, hello
To a new beginning
Say goodbye to what now is ending
Your pathway to walk down
Is very clear

But you can see with those eyes
And you can hear with those ears
And you can speak with that tongue
The truth looks so far away
But now it's clear

So hooray, hooray
For tomorrow
A better place
To forget all your sorrow
The trumpets are blowing
And the music is clear

But you can see with those eyes
And you can hear with those ears
And you can speak with that tongue
The truth looks so far away
But now it's clear

You can see with those eyes
And you can hear with those ears
And you can speak with that tongue
The truth looks so far away
But now it's clear
