I've been out of frame and I surrender

The truth is what

What I've needed from you
D G Em
I've been floating within your walls of opinion
D G
And I'm tired - I only want the truth

G G/B
I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
C Em G
There is a truth, there is a light
Am G
If you'd follow me there

I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)
C Em G
There is a hope for the hopeless

I can promise you that

The jury's been partial

To prove to you I won't lie

Under pressure of compromise

Yeah, well an absolute measure
Won't change with opinion

No matter how hard you try

A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets

To never wonder what you are
Am G
And not forget where you come from
