Nothing But The Truth |
| What are the open plans but land to roam and cultivate |
| Reciprocate trade and share |
| To give and to take |
| To respect the Indian way? |
| I will no longer cry |
| For what has passed is gone |
| Like a memory that floats in the air |
| The song of an eagle feather |
| Climbing in the wind |
| On a hot summer day |
| On a hot summer day |
| I’ve seen eyes they were crying sadly |
| Fists ready for the blow |
| Seen turbulent skies above me |
| Butterflies in the snow |
| Saw a war in a mask and a costume |
| In a jungle of leaders to blame |
| Seen power in the hands of the wrong men |
| Will it always be just the same? |
| Seen boys cross illegal borders |
| Risk a life to wash a dish |
| Seen money disguised as the answer |
| Is that your only wish? |
| Saw a mother’s smile so hopeful |
| Seen a man who treasures life |
| As a woman now able to choose |
| From a strength that I need to survive |
| Truth, nothing but the truth |
| Watch you coming today, watch you coming today |
| The things you say when you give and you take when you take |
| And you take and you take |
| The truth, nothing but the truth |
| In the name of nature |
| The choices we make |
| Is it only me is it only you |
| Are we only living for today? |
| Maybe today will be my day |
| Before it’s over |
| I’ll make a change |
| Maybe today will be my day |
| Before it’s over |
| I’ll have my say |
| Nanana… |
| May the walls on the road be witnesses of the needs of your ticking heart |
| The words that you love be spoken |
| At your table and when you part |
| May your long line of family members be proud of who you’ve become |
| May your hands and your soul remind you every day that you are around |
| May the house that is always clean |
| Be the home to the ones in need |
| May the dirt on the soles of your boots make a track of the good will you leave |
| May the words that were used to divide float away far away out of sight |
| And the mountain we still must climb be the one we will climb to unite |
| Truth, nothing but the truth |
| Watch you coming today, watch you coming today |
| The things you say when you give and you take when you take |
| And you take and you take |
| The truth, nothing but the truth |
| In the name of nature |
| The choices we make |
| Is it only me, is it only you |
| Are we only living for today? |
| Maybe today will be my day |
| Before it’s over |
| I’ll make a change |
| Maybe today will be my day |
| Before it’s over |
| I’ll have my say |
| Nanana… |
