Tony Joe White - Closer To The Truth
Strong instinct for survival
Romantically insane
Moving soft along the edge of time
Like a panther in the rain
Manipulated rebels
With a total disregard for the rules
When pride comes tumbling off
the great white stallion
You move closer to the truth
, ,
And the search continues for the meaning
We build the cathedrals high
And keep our weapons ready
Looming dark against the sky
, ,
, ,
, ,
, ,
, ,
They re taking down the rain forest
Changing it to a room without a view
The big trees fall like dominoes
And we move closer to the truth
, ,
And the eagle watches from the mountain
As the warriors turn into fools
And the dice are thrown on sacred ground
And they move closer to the truth
And who s gonna tell the children
How the rivers used to flow cystal blue
And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth
And moving closer to the truth
