Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh God I don't want to lose you
But I am so confused
I have been so abused
But I'll cling to you
Cling to you
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Free
Free
That I'm Free
Oh that I'm Free
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
God I need you now
Pick me up off the ground
Father you are all that I have
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what you to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what you to do

Beautiful was the proof in the truth, and it shows in the youth
When they just do what they naturally do, truth is natural
It's actual, and it's factual
Perfection, pragmatic and practical
Unabbreviated, that which has not been deviated
Imperishable and can not be alleviated
It's the language of god, for it's he who created it
And made it, even when a man is cremated
Down to his ashes, his essence remains in the gases
Lies disintegrate as all time passes
Although illusions has been accepted by the masses
And they teach us lies every day in high school classes
Divine and sublime, unaffected by space, motion or time
The truth, the intensive nature of the mind
It's correct, for man has miscalculated
He misrepresented and they misinterpreted
If he feels light in the darkness, regardless
Your pure heart or heartless, it's the truth, it's the proof
Light's blinding
No way dividing
What's yours or mine? when everything's shining
Truth
