The truth is the light
The truth is the light
It hurts sometimes
But that saying's still right
The truth is the light

Love is a flame
Love is a flame
It can warm you up or
Burn you down again
Love is a flame

You might have to cry
You might have to cry
But better some tears
Than some smoke in your eye
You might have to cry

Don't you know I heard the whole damn thing
It's a sad song you cannot sing
But that's all right
'Cause all of a sudden I could feel my wings
With your lips unbuttoned
I know you're gonna set me free

The truth is the light
The truth is the light
It hurts sometimes
But that saying's still right
The truth is the light

Some people might steal and cheat me
They can fuss and fight me but don't deceive me
And it'll be all right
Tell me the words and I can get my peace
No matter how bad
You know it's gonna set me free

The truth is the light
The truth is the light
It hurts sometimes
But that saying's still right
The truth is the light

My bird's gonna sing
My bird's gonna sing
And I don't care
If you cut his wings
My bird's gonna sing

The truth is the light
The truth is the light
It hurts sometimes
But that saying's still right
The truth is the light
