[Chorus 1: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]
We scratch and fight to learn
Where in this heaven our truth is
But will the years all burn
Before we look we look where our youth is

[Chorus 2: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]
The dove is not distressed
For the truth of why or when
Her truth is food and rest
So she can fly again

[Chorus 3: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]
Embarrassed now by all that hair
Young and foolish we declare
Didn’t know what the game was
Still our aim was true
We took the world and made a fuss
But now the world has taken us
We are beaten but we’re learning what to do

[Outro: Christopher Cross, Gigi Worth]
The truth
The truth
The truth
The truth
We knew it in our youth
