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
