The Truth Will Carry You

[Verse 1] No one said it’s love, Just a spark that fades away. I don’t need to feel What was never mine to stay. Came along, pulled me in, Left me standing in the rain. Now I face the truth, And I’m finding strength again. [Chorus 1] Can I say the words I wanted to? He gave me nothing, but I held it true. A wish and a prayer, But he wasn’t there. Now I stand alone, With the fire still burning through. And Jesus says, oh, oh, “Oh, Child, the truth will carry you.” [Verse 2] My heart never worked, Always breaking piece by piece. Mama tried to warn, “Let the broken find their peace.” When the storm comes around, I’ll be stronger on my own. Letting go is fire, Burning through what I’ve known. [Chorus 2] Can I say the words I wanted to? He gave me nothing, but I held it true. A wish and a prayer, But he wasn’t there. Now I stand alone, With the fire still burning through. And Jesus says, oh, oh, “Oh, Child, the truth will carry you.” [Verse 3] There’s a flame that cuts so deep, Burning through what’s left behind. Every step I take, I’m reclaiming what’s defined. Though the heat still lingers, I’ll rise and make my stand. This fire won’t consume, It’s lighting up the land. [Bridge] No silver tray, No guiding light to see. The road is rough, But it’s setting me free. [Instrumental] [Chorus 3] Can I say the words I wanted to? He gave me nothing, but I held it true. A wish and a prayer, But he wasn’t there. Now I stand alone, With the fire still burning through. And Jesus says, oh, oh, “Oh, Child, the truth will carry you.” [Outro] I’m burning through the pain, And I’m stronger than before. The ashes that remain Mark the start of something more. [Fade] And Jesus says, oh, oh, oh, “Oh, Child, the truth will carry you.” And Jesus says, oh, oh, oh, “Oh, Child, the truth will carry you.”
