Truth Of The Heart - Melissa Etheridge

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

Come listen close

And I’ll try to let you know

It’s all I know

There is no magic

There are no secrets

We all begin this race at the start

But I have come this far

With a truth of the heart

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

Sometimes it hard sometimes it’s strange

But the truth of the heart is people can change

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

My father’s burden

My mother’s rain

My own desire

My sister’s pain

All souls have traveled along this road

Each one has carried their own heavy load
