Melissa Etheridge
Truth of the Heart
[Verse 1]
I hear your questions
I see your face
Your life before you
Is full of grace
What can I tell you
To let you know
Your angel's eyes
Will watch you grow

[Pre-Chorus]
Come listen close
And I'll try
I'll try to let you know
It's all I know

[Chorus]
There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race at the start
Oh, but I have come this far
With a truth of the heart

[Verse 2]
Deep down inside
I think we're all the same
Try not to judge someone
And never shame
I do believe
That people are good
They just want hope and respect
And to be understood
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard
Sometimes it's strange
But the truth of the heart
Is people can change

[Chorus]
There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race at the start
Oh, and I have come this far
With a truth of the heart

[Bridge]
Yes there is danger
And there are shadows
And there is fear inside the dark
It has powered countries
And borne religion
Fear can never rule the heart

[Verse 3]
My father's burden
And my mother's rain
My own desire
My sister's pain
All souls have traveled
Along this road
And each one has carried
Their own heavy load
But I have come this far
[Chorus]
There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race from the start
And I have come this far
Oh, it's all I know that I have come this
Oh, I've come this far
With a truth of the heart

[Outro]
Find it in your heart
