Lyrics

WHERE THE TRUTH LIES

I’ve been running round in circles, chasing my tail
No idea which way to turn
I’ve been searching for the answers to no avail
Still have all these lessons to learn
But I know I’m on the right road now
“Cos on the other side of asking why? or how?

Baby, that’s where the truth lies
Sometimes it’s standing there in front of our eyes
But it takes a while to realise
Baby, that’s where the truth lies

Self-appointed borders keep us contained
In the safety of an ordinary life
We believe all that is told us like we didn’t have a brain
Or a heart that knows its wrong from right
But you know that there will come a day soon
When you’ll grow out of that little room

And baby, that’s where the truth lies
It’s far beyond what you can see with your eyes
If you’ll run the race you’ll win the prize
Baby, that’s where the truth lies

Just dig a little deeper than you’ve done before
And you’ll find beyond the surface that there’s so much more…

Baby, that’s where the truth lies
It’s balancing on the edge of that line
The one where seeking hearts will always find
Baby, that’s where the truth lies
And it’s such a fine, fine line
Baby, that’s where the truth lies.
