The Truth Is The Light - The Wood Brothers

The truth is the light

The truth is the light

It hurts sometimes

But that saying’s still right

The truth is the light

Love is a flame

Love is a flame

It can warm you up or

Burn you down again

Love is a flame

You might have to cry

You might have to cry

But better some tears

Than some smoke in your eye

You might have to cry

Don’t you know I heard the whole damn thing

It’s a sad song you cannot sing

But that’s all right

'Cause all of a sudden I could feel my wings

With your lips unbuttoned

I know you’re gonna set me free

The truth is the light

The truth is the light

It hurts sometimes

But that saying’s still right

The truth is the light

Some people might steal and cheat me

They can fuss and fight me but don’t deceive me

And it’ll be all right

Tell me the words and I can get my peace

No matter how bad

You know it’s gonna set me free

The truth is the light

The truth is the light

It hurts sometimes

But that saying’s still right

The truth is the light

My bird’s gonna sing

My bird’s gonna sing

And I don’t care

If you cut his wings

My bird’s gonna sing

The truth is the light

The truth is the light

It hurts sometimes

But that saying’s still right

The truth is the light
