[Verse 1]
You can make somebody cry
Go on, do what you like
I will be there by your side
I know what the future holds

[Verse 2]
You can set the world on fire
Yeah if you want, It isn’t hard
I will be there looking on
To see the trail of light as you fall
Oh

[Chorus]
But I’ll take the truth
The higher truth
The higher truth
I want the truth
The higher truth
The higher truth

[Verse 3]
You can fill the world with pain
Yeah if you want, I'd feel it now
You can fill the world with hate
I’ve seen it done before
And I know how it all works out
[Verse 4]
Make a promise if you can
You know, you’ll only break it
Make a promise if you dare
Go on right ahead
And let’s see where that gets you
Oh

[Chorus]
But I’ll take the truth
The higher truth
The higher truth
I want the truth
The higher truth
The higher truth
Maybe you and I one day
Will finally choose a higher truth
Hey

[Bridge]
Come let’s sit in the sun
Feel the world spin around
As the birds fly overhead
Can’t you hear the waves?
Can’t you feel the rain
As it falls upon your face?
[Chorus]
I’ll take a truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I want the truth
The higher truth
A higher truth

[Chorus]
I’ll take a truth
A higher truth
A higher truth
I want the truth
The higher truth
A higher truth
Maybe you and I one day will finally choose
A higher truth

[Outro]
Come let’s sit in the sun
Feel the world spin around
As the birds fly overhead
Can’t you hear the waves?
Can’t you feel the rain
As it falls upon your face?
