Higher Truth - Chris Cornell

You can make somebody cry

Go on

Do what you like

I’ll be there by your side

I know

What the future holds

You can set the world on fire

Yeah if you want

It isn’t hard

I won’t be there looking on

To see the trail of lies

As you fall

But I’ll take the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

You can fill the world with pain

Yeah if you want

I’ve seen it now

You can fill the world with hate

I’ve seen it done before

And I know how it all works out

Make a promise if you can

You know

You’ll only break it

Make a promise if you dare

Go on right ahead

And let’s see where it gets you

But I’ll take the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

The higher truth

Maybe you and I one day

Will finally choose

A higher truth

Come let’s sit in the sun

Feel the world spin around

As the birds fly overhead

Can’t you hear the waves

Can’t you feel the rain

As it falls upon your face

I’ll take a truth

A higher truth

A higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

A higher truth

I’ll take a truth

A higher truth

A higher truth

I want the truth

The higher truth

A higher truth

Maybe you and I one day will finally choose

A higher truth

Can’t you feel the higher

Can’t you feel the higher

As it falls around?
