There's a young child playing All alone for the day His mother never warned him She had to go away yeah Another lonely soul wanders Searching out the night It wasn't supposed to end this way Maybe something will turn out right Give me truth I know I Need the hope It's not the story of my life And I know how you are And I know how you live Give me truth You can't hide There's an old soldier dreaming Of his younger days So many lives he saved And all he sees are those who slipped away A woman dressed for Sunday With flowers in her hair Standing alone in the doorway of life Will somebody shout we care Give me truth I know I Need the hope It's not the story of my life And I know how you are And I know how you live Give me truth You can't hide The world is a better place With you filling up the space Our better angels inside Already know how to handle this ride Everybody just need to look inside Give me truth I know I Need the hope It's not the story of my life And I know how you are And I know how you live Give me truth You can't hide I know I I know I Give me truth You can't hide
