Truth: Can You Handle It?

Somebody asked me  

What it really mean to be true  

Somebody tell me  

Tell me what it mean to you
 

You can’t find it in a TV screen 

You can’t read it in a book no  

You won’t see it in the future  

No matter how hard you look ya’ll
You know truth ain’t hard to find  

You know sitting deep inside 

 And that truth can be in disguise  

You don’t have to go far  

Truth is right where you are
 

Somebody asked me  

What it really mean to be true 

 Somebody tell me  

Tell me what it mean to you
 

You’re trying to find it in the government ya’ll 

And look for it in the courthouse too  

You try to speak it in the cell phone ya’ll  

Waiting to hear it on the radio news   

You can’t find it in a whisper  

You can’t find it in a shout no  

You can’t find it in a schoolyard  

They sing about it in the church house
 

I said truth Getting hard to find You know truth  

Somewhere deep inside  

You know truth It’ll change your mind 

 And truth It may be in disguise  

You don’t have to go far  

Truth is right where you are
 

Got to got to got to got to got to got to got to  

Gotta have a little truth now

  Little truth now 

 How bout a little bit of  

How bout a little bit of 

Just a little bit of truth now  

Somebody somebody somebody tell me (truth can’t hide it truth can’t fight it)
