The Truth Marches On Lyrics by Al Green

Have a Good Time

1976

[Verse 1]
The truth marches on
Of all the wrong I've done
Sometimes we stop, say hello
Too much has gone on and on and on

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You know, the truth, he is not a young man
But he's old, of his time, he stays on your mind

[Chorus]
The truth marches on and on and on
The truth marches on and on and on

[Verse 2]
Let the light shine on
Through the rain and the storm
Sometimes a day is nothing but wrong
But the light shines on, on and on and on
You know the truth, stopping to do what is right
Stay for the night

[Chorus]
The truth marches on and on and on
The truth marches on and on and on

[Verse 3]
Gone in the day, shines at night
Another time you were right
Another smilе on your face
I live for it, sweet evеry day

[Outro]
The truth marches on
The truth marches on
The truth marches on
Like a soldier
Like a soldier, yeah
The truth marches on
