The Truth is All that Matters

[verse 1]

In the past,

People gathered in the square,

Listenin to a speaker on a soapbox,

Speeches hanging in the air,

Speaking truth to power,

No matter who was there.

Today

Facts twisted in a tweet,

Can make us doubt the truth,

Before we ever leave our seat,

Every headline is a fight,

to change what we believe.

[chorus]

Don't disrespect my mind

by saying the sky ain't blue

when lies are all you tell me,

then say my eyes aren't true,

what are you hiding,

what do you want,

and what do you plan to do.

Bold songs about truth remind us

that the facts are all that matters.

The truth is all that matters.

[Bridge]

We all struggle to live some how,

loving this old patch of ground,

trying to make our voices heard,

Don't mean we're enemies now.

We all know freedom's costs,

and we know it ain't never been free,

Ask the boots on the ground,

carrying their brothers home,

What truth can really mean.

[verse 2]

Life was never built to last,

Every generation gets its turn,

If we stay silent in the face of lies,

Tomorrow lives with what we learn.

So stand up for what is right when the truth is tested,

Don't let silence become the key,

Our children still deserve to have,

A world that's brave and free.

[Big Chorus]

Don't disrespect my mind

by saying the sky ain't blue

when lies are all you tell me,

then say my eyes aren't true,

what are you hiding,

what do you want,

and what do you plan to do.

The facts are all that matters

The truth is all that matters.

Every voice becomes a soapbox,

Cause History is listening now.
