The Truth Lyrics by Swingin Hammers

Quiet, Vol. 1

2020

[Verse 1]
We give value to the few
Never mind the many
Undermine the truth of life
Dollars are for you
While we take away their pennies
We take drugs to help us sleep at night

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm tired of playing games
Tired of taking chances with the blood that's in my veins
I think I'm jumpin' fences

[Chorus]
If I say an unborn child deserves to live, you'll say I’m senseless
If I say the refugee deserves to stay, you'll call me a fool
If I call you out like this, you'll only hate me more
But it only takes two eyes to see the truth

[rVerse 2]
"Lord, who is my neighbor?"
The man asked Christ the King
I think he knew the answer and so do you
Can't you see their hearts?
Can't you see their heartbeat?
Their value does not hang on your view

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm so tired of playing games
Tired of taking chances with the blood that's in their veins
I think I'm jumpin' fences

[Chorus]
If I say an unborn child deserves to live, you'll say I’m senseless
If I say the refugee deserves to stay, you'll call me a fool
But I cannot sit and tell you that everything is fine
It only takes a spine to tell the truth
If I say that your child deserves to live, you'll say I'm just Christian
If I say the refugees just need some help, you'll say I'm not right
But the house is burning down, there's only one way to quench it
Love your neighbor as yourself

[Outro]
Oh, I cannot help but tell the truth
Though you give me hell, I'll tell the truth
