Lila Downs - Nothing But the Truth lyrics
[Lila Downs - Nothing But the Truth lyrics]
What are the open plains but
Land to roam and cultivate
Reciprocate, trade and share?
To give and to take to respect the indian way
I will no longer cry for
Where it's past is gone
Like a memory that floats in the air
The song of the eagle feather
Climbing in the wind on a hot summer day
On a hot summer day
I've seen eyes that were crying sadly
Fists ready for the blown
Seen turbulent skyes above me
Buterflies in the snow
Saw a world in a mask and a costume
In a jingle of leaders to blame
Seen the power in hands of the wrong man
Who will always be just the same
Seen boys cryes in little borders
Risk a life to wash a dish
Seen money?? is the answer
Is that your only wish?
Saw a???? so hopeful
Seen a man who?? his life
As a woman not able to choose
From a street that I need to survive
Truth nothing but the truth
What you're come up today?
What you're come up today?
The things you say
When you give and you take
When you take and you take and you take
Truth nothing but the truth
In tha name of nature
The choices we've made is it only me?
Is it only you?
Are we only living for today?
Maybe today will be my day before it's over
I'll make a change
Maybe today will be my day before it's over
I'll have my say
May the walls on the road be witnesses
Of the means that you're taking hard
The words of your love be spoken
At your table and?? you appart
May your long long offending members
Be proud of who you become
May your hands and your soul remind you
Everyday that you are around
May the house???? be always clean
Be the home to the ones I need
May the dirt on the soil of your boots
Make a track of the good will you'll leave
May the words that were used to divide
Float away, far away, out of sight
And the mountain we still must climb
Be the one we will climb to unite
Truth nothing but the truth
What you're come up today?
What you're come up today?
The things you say
When you give and you take
When you take and you take and you take
Truth nothing but the truth
In tha name of nature
The choices we've made is it only me?
Is it only you?
Are we only living for today?
Maybe today will be my day before it's over
I'll make a change
Maybe today will be my day before it's over
I'll have my say
Land to roam and cultivate
Reciprocate, trade and share?
To give and to take to respect the indian way
I will no longer cry for
Where it's past is gone
Like a memory that floats in the air
The song of the eagle feather
Climbing in the wind on a hot summer day
On a hot summer day
I've seen eyes that were crying sadly
Fists ready for the blown
Seen turbulent skyes above me
Buterflies in the snow
Saw a world in a mask and a costume
In a jingle of leaders to blame
Seen the power in hands of the wrong man
Who will always be just the same
Seen boys cryes in little borders
