Truth to Power Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could tell you I was fragile
I could tell you I was weak
I could write you out a letter
Tell you anything you need
I've seen minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
[Chorus]
If you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
[Post-Chorus]
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
[Verse 2]
I could tell you I was ageless
But I know you see the light
I could tell you I'm immune to everything
But that's a lie
Dust don't turn to flowers
Skies don't disappear
But I've seen truth turn to power
I could tell you I was fragile
I could tell you I was weak
I could write you out a letter
Tell you anything you need
I've seen minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
[Chorus]
If you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
[Post-Chorus]
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
[Verse 2]
I could tell you I was ageless
But I know you see the light
I could tell you I'm immune to everything
But that's a lie
Dust don't turn to flowers
Skies don't disappear
But I've seen truth turn to power
[Chorus]
Oh, if you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
[Bridge]
Hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
I said it's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
It's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
[Chorus]
If you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
Be a believer
Be a believer (believer)
You'd be (be a believer)
[Post-Chorus]
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
Oh, if you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
[Bridge]
Hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
I said it's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
It's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
[Chorus]
If you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
Be a believer
Be a believer (believer)
You'd be (be a believer)
[Post-Chorus]
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
