Truth Of The Heart Lyrics

I hear your questions 

I see your face 

Your life before you 

Is full of grace 

What can I tell you

To let you know 

Your angel's eyes 

Will watch you grow

Come listen close

And I'll try to let you know

It's all I know

There is no magic 

There are no secrets 

We all begin this race at the start 

But I have come this far

With a truth of the heart 

Deep down inside

I think we're all the same 

Try not to judge someone 

And never shame 

I do believe that people are good

They just want hope and respect

And to be understood

Sometimes it hard sometimes it's strange 

But the truth of the heart is people can change 

Yes there is danger and there are shadows 

And there is fear inside the dark 

It has powered countries and borne religion 

Fear can never rule the heart 

My father's burden 

My mother's rain

My own desire 

My sister's pain 

All souls have traveled along this road

Each one has carried their own heavy load
