My Truth
If I don´t say what you want to hear
if I don´t dress in what you wan´t me to wear
if I don´t think the way you do
I can´t help it ´cause that´s my truth
If my humour makes you bored
if my religion isn´t yours
if my maturity doesn´t fit my youth
I can´t help it ´cause that´s my truth
Chorus:
See, the truth often hurts
but if it´s honest it´s always worth it
can´t deny that I´m subjective
but no truth can be objective
even though it´s universal
it´s always individual
my truth, your truth, his truth, her truth
it doesn´t matter as long as it´s true
If my culture is something you don´t know
it´s unfamiliar and it´s uncomfortable
I suggest you get to know my roots
before you judge me ´cause that´s my truth
If your opinion is different from mine
if where I say go is where you draw the line
even if I may not agree
I will accept ´cause it´s your truth and it sets you free
(Chorus)
Don´t you loose your truth, for whatever it´s worth
don´t you try to compromise with your own life
(Chorus to fade)
