Lyrics

Truth

[Chorus 1: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]

We scratch and fight to learn

Where in this heaven our truth is

But will the years all burn

Before we look we look where our youth is

[Chorus 2: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]

The dove is not distressed

For the truth of why or when

Her truth is food and rest

So she can fly again

[Chorus 3: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]

Embarrassed now by all that hair

Young and foolish we declare

Didn’t know what the game was

Still our aim was true

We took the world and made a fuss

But now the world has taken us

We are beaten but we’re learning what to do

[Outro: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]

The truth

The truth

The truth

The truth

We knew it in our youth
