Truth of the Heart
Melissa Etheridge
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 Some-times it hard sometimes it's strange But the truth of the heart is people can change 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 Yes there is danger 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 reign My own desire My sister's pain All souls have traveled along this road Each one has carried their own heavy load But I have come this far There is no magic There are no secrets We all begin this race at the start But I have come this far Don't I know that I have come this far I have come this far With a truth ... of the heart.
