Truth Lyrics

Artist: Caedmon's Call
Album: Intimate Portrait

Iâ‚¬â„¢ve been putting on and putting off too many people,
and Iâ‚¬â„¢m getting old to live
Like an injured man, ailments and unfilled prescription
Like the nose on my face.
Like a broken boat, safety raft, love for the water
Well I just canâ‚¬â„¢t decide
to sink of swim itâ‚¬â„¢s me or them should I save myself?
Or go back for the othersâ‚¬

Because maybe thereâ‚¬â„¢s no gray and I was wrong to tell them so
Then maybe all that Iâ‚¬â„¢ve to do was done a long time ago

REFRAIN
Because there was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption for my sin
for the sake of the world, I thank the Lord
that the truthâ‚¬â„¢s not contingent on me.

â‚¬ËœCause Iâ‚¬â„¢ve been dressing up and dressing down for too many people
And Iâ‚¬â„¢m a little young to live
Like a troubled boy, a troubled soul, fish out of water
â‚¬ËœCause weâ‚¬â„¢re all just the same
Weâ‚¬â„¢re all just as good, and just as bad, and just as distracted
by the corners of our eyes
As our fatherâ‚¬â„¢s were and theirs before and all those before them
But still I glance around.

And with the way I stare you'd think I'd seen through a two by four.
And with the way I walk youâ‚¬â„¢d think Iâ‚¬â„¢d never seen grace before.

Because there was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption for my sin
for the sake of the world, I thank the Lord
that the truthâ‚¬â„¢s not contingent on me.

Iâ‚¬â„¢ve been putting up and putting down too many things
I know nothing about
Well Iâ‚¬â„¢m jealous of, holding pride as tight as I can
Like she was my only daughter.

There was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption for my sin
for the sake of the world.
I thank the Lord
that the truthâ‚¬â„¢s not contingent on me.

â‚¬ËœCause the truthâ‚¬â„¢s not contingent on me.
