[Verse 1] Hands in the red dirt Granddad on the porch Mama sang the same lines Passing on the torch Church doors in the morning Dust on our shoes Every name in the family Came with a bruise I saw my son look up Same fire in his eyes Then my daughter laughing Like a prayer in the pines [Pre-Chorus] And the older I get The more I can see We’re branches of one river Running under the trees [Chorus] Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love It runs through us It runs through us Open up now Let it speak above Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love [Verse 2] Why can so few see it When it’s right in front In the bread on the table In the work, in the mud I held my grandmother’s hand Then I held my own son Now I see her in the grandbabies When the morning comes Same ache, same healing Same bend, same flame All these different faces Carry one holy name [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t hide it I won’t play it small If love is the root Then it feeds us all [Chorus] Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love It runs through us It runs through us Open up now Let it speak above Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love [Bridge] I was built from scars and hallelujah Built from the hands that stayed If my chest feels open, let it be I won’t be ashamed Wake me up Wake us up Till the blind can see We were never separate We were family [Final Chorus] Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love It runs through us It runs through us Open up now Let it speak above Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love Heart of truth is love In this place, we rise In this place, we rise
