It's True
Salem Al Fakir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

the grass is greener on the other side
I've told some people now they know it
forget your old lawn come over to mine
take your first step and you will get there in time - it's true

life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you

the grass is greener on the other side
someone told me she had finally seen it
it's hard to believe it before you've tried it out
she's already there she's finally home - it's true

life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you

you thought you knew it all
but let me tell you
you're not the only one by far
let's knock down all the walls
you better believe it
'cause now you know it's true

life will smile for you - it's true x8





i wouldn't lie for you
